The mass of the bird is 0.32 kg.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Gravitational potential energy, the energy exhibited by an object at rest due to the influence of gravitational force. So the increase in distance of object from the surface of earth leads to increase in the gravitational potential energy. Thus,

       \text {Gravitational potential energy}=m \times \text { Acceleration } \times \text { Distance of bird from bottom }

So, as the gravitational potential energy is given as 2033 J and the position of bird placed on the tall tower is 639 m away from the bottom, then the mass (m) of the bird can be found as below.

       m o f \text { bird }=\frac{\text {Gravitational potential energy}}{a \times \text {Distance}}=\frac{2033}{9.8 \times 639}=\frac{2033}{6262.2}

So, finally we get the bird's mass as,

            m of bird = 0.32 kg

1.what is gravity?(in your own words)
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

1.Gravity is an invisible force that pulls objects toward each other

2.The suns gravity pulls the planet towards the sun which changes the straight line of direction into a curve

That keeps the planet moving in an orbit around the sun
