A 8 kg eagle is flying up in the sky. You pull out your GPE gun and are able to tell that the bird has a GPE of 2,352 J. How high must the birdbe? (remember the bird is on Earth)

Respuesta :

Energy = work per unit time

Energy = workdone / time

energy = mgh

m = 8kg

E = 2352J

since the bird is on the earth, definitely the gravitational force will be acting on it

g = 10m/s^2

2352 = 8 x 10 x h

2352 = 80 x h

2352 = 80h

divide both sides by 80

2352/80 = 80h/80

29.4 metres = h

h = 29.4 metres

The answer is 29.4 metres
