<span>Answer: Because rock is more dense than water

Lithostatic pressure is pressure caused by soil or rock. It similar to hydrostatic pressure, the pressure caused by water. Pressure is force per area and force is dependent on the mass. Rock is denser than water, thus having more mass and more force.</span>

Answer:

35 m/s^2

Explanation:

Decceleration = change in velocity / change in time

= ( 70 m/s ) / 2 seconds = 35 m/s^2

DEcceleration = 35 m/s^2

Jason's speed changes by - 35 m/s^2

The change in kinetic energy of the car is equivalent to the change in its potential energy. Thus:
K.E = P.E
1/2 x mΔv² = mgΔh
h = (8.2² - 5²) / 2(9.81)
h = 2.15 meters
