Asmall dog is trained to jump straight up a distance of 1.2m. how much kinetic energy does the 7.2kg dog need to jump this high? (the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s2.) show work & and explain in simple

Remember that since energy is conserved, the kinetic energy it takes to jump to a height of 1.2 m is just the same as the potential energy difference between ground level and the 1.2 m height.
Potential energy = (mass)(gravity)(height) = (7.2 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(1.2 m) = 84.76 J
Therefore, the kinetic energy required for the dog to jump to a 1.2-m height is 84.76 Joules.

The boat's velocity relative to the riverbank can be resolved into two components. the component going north is 2.7 m/s and the component going west is 1.2 m/s.we add these two vectors and then find the magnitude of the resultant to get the speed.the magnitude of the resultant vector from adding can be obtained by the pythagorean theorem.    to two significant figures, the boat's speed relative to the riverbank is 3.0 m/s.
