"orbiting the Sun in an elliptical orbit"
Since it moves 5 m/s faster every second, after 20 seconds it's moving 100 m/s faster than when it started speeding up.
If it was moving at 14 m/s when the acceleration began, it's moving at 114 m/s at the end of the 20 seconds. Its velocity is <em>114 m/s North.</em>
That's 255 mph !
Answer:
286.7 m
Explanation:
So we are assuming the PE of the falcon is converted to KE
KE = PE
1/2 (.480)(75)^2 = .480 (9.81)(h ) solve for h = 286.7 m
