The culture that gave the visiting Europeans eyeglasses and silk fabric was the Chinese civilization. The Chinese invented eyeglasses over a 1,000 years ago<span>, according to British scientist and historian Sir Joseph Needman. By the time Marco Polo arrived in China around 1270, eyeglasses (which he mentions in his accounts) were widely used in Chinese upper class. On the other hand, s</span>ilk has been used by the Chinese for approximately 5,000 years.<span> The earliest evidence of silk dates back to around 4,000-3,000 BC in Shanxi province, where a culture silk cocoon was found.</span>

In classical mechanics, kinetic energy (KE) is equal to half of an object's mass (1/2*m) multiplied by the velocity squared. For example, if a an object with a mass of 10 kg (m = 10 kg) is moving at a velocity of 5 meters per second (v = 5 m/s), the kinetic energy is equal to 125 Joules, or (1/2 * 10 kg) * 5 m/s2.

Using the equation v(average)=x traveled/time
v = 100/2.5
You get 40 kilometers per hour

The same bird on the tree has more gravitational potential energy. This is because it is at a higher distance from the ground as it is on the tree, than when it is on the ground.
Considering also the formula for Gravitational Potential Energy GPE = mgh
For the bird on the ground, h =0, therefore GPE = m*9.8*0 = 0
For that on the tree = mgh = m*9.8*h
Of course the one on the tree has a value greater than zero.
