Question

What is the kinetic energy of a 26 kg eagle flying at an altitude of 65 m at a speed of 19 m/s?

Answer 1

Answer:

4693 J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of the eagle is given by:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is the mass of the eagle

v is the speed of the eagle

In this problem, m = 26 kg and v = 19 m/s. Substituting into the formula, we find

$K=\frac{1}{2}(26 kg)(19 m/s)^2=4693 J$

As we can see, the altitude of the eagle is not relevant for the calculation of the kinetic energy.
