Kaylyn Lewis · Answer 1

70 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

speed = √ (g x depth); where g = 9.8m/s²

given depth = 500m

equation becomes:

speed = √ (g x depth)

= √ (9.8 x 500)

= √ (9.8 x 500)

=√4900

=70 m/s

Marcos Hanson · Answer 2

70

Step-by-step explanation:

v=√gd

v=√9.8*500

v=√4900

v=70 ms^-1
