Answer:

Velocity

Explanation:

This is a case of velocity, since velocity apart from having magnitude also has direction. the person walks at 8 [m/s] to the North.

When we talk about speed, we only talk about the magnitude without taking into account the direction.

A 2.5 m tall steel cylinder has a cross sectional area of 1.5 mA 2 EA. At the bottom with a height of 0.5 m is liquid water and
KatRina [158]

Answer:

124 kPa

Explanation:

The highest pressure in the water is in the bottom of the cylinder. The reason is because all the weight of the water and the gasoline puts some pressure plus the atmospheric air. So, the absolute pressure would be the one exerted by the atmosphere, the gasoline and the water and is calculated as follows:

P=P_{atm}+P_{gas}+P{water}\\P=110 000Pa +1.0m*9.8m/s^2*925kg/m^3+0.5m*1000kg/m^3*9.8m/s^2\\P=123974Pa≈124 kPa
