Reference point is most often given a value of zero to describe an object's position on a straight line
Answer:
1. 80,000 Pa
2. 11.3 m/s
3. 12.5 m/s
Explanation:
<u>Question 1</u>
Pressure, 
Where h is the height that water is to reach, g is gravitational constant and
is the density, in this case, we assume
of pure water as 
Assuming 
P=8*10*1000=80000 Pa
<u>Question 2</u>
Pressure can also be found by the formula
where v is the velocity
Equating the new formula of pressure to the formula used in question 1 above

Notice that
is common hence

Making V the subject of the formula


In this case, h=8-1.6=6.4m and taking g as 10 m/s^{2}

Rounding off to 1 decimal place
v=11.3 m/s
<u>Question 3</u>
As already illustrated

Taking g as 9.8 and h now is 8m

v=12.52198067
Rounding off to 1 decimal place
v=12.5 m/s
This is the concept of application of Pythagorean theorem and algebra;
Suppose the the length of the ladder is x ft, the distance from the ground to the top of the ladder will be (x-8) ft, the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the building is 16ft, thus to find the length of the ladder we proceed as follows;
c^2=a^2+b^2
x^2=(x-8)^2+16^2
x^2=x^2-16x+64+256
collecting the like terms we get:
x^2-x^2+16x=320
16x=320
solving for x we get:
x=320/16
x=20 ft
the answer is x=20 ft
