calculate the potential energy of a 6.3 kg eagle flying at a height of 75m
The potential energy of an object can be calculated using the formula:
Potential Energy = mass × acceleration due to gravity × height
where:
mass = 6.3 kg (mass of the eagle)
acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^2 (approximate value on Earth)
height = 75 m
Plugging in the values, we get:
Potential Energy = 6.3 kg × 9.8 m/s^2 × 75 m
Calculating the expression gives:
Potential Energy = 4411.5 Joules
Therefore, the potential energy of a 6.3 kg eagle flying at a height of 75 m is 4411.5 Joules.
