Let's be clear: The plane's "395 km/hr" is speed relative to the
air, and the wind's "55 km/hr" is speed relative to the ground.
Before the wind hits, the plane moves east at 395 km/hr relative
to both the air AND the ground.
After the wind hits, the plane still maintains the same air-speed.
That is, its velocity relative to the air is still 395 km/hr east.
But the wind vector is added to the air-speed vector, and the
plane's velocity <span>relative to the ground drops to 340 km/hr east</span>.
Answer:
3430000 J
Explanation:
The formula for potential energy is PE=mgh.
M being the mass, g being the force of gravity, and h being the height.
First thing you want to do is convert 250 kg to g (grams).
From there you get 25000g and you have to multiply that by 14m and 9.8m/s^2 (the force of gravity is constant, at least on earth).
<em>Energy</em><em> </em><em>can</em><em> </em><em>neither </em><em>be</em><em> </em><em>created </em><em>nor</em><em> </em><em>be</em><em> </em><em>destroyed</em><em> </em><em>but</em><em> </em><em>can</em><em> </em><em>be</em><em> </em><em>converted</em><em> </em><em>from</em><em> </em><em>one</em><em> </em><em>form</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>another </em><em>.</em>
