Answer:
The metabolic power for starting flight=134.8W/kg
Explanation:
We are given that
Mass of starling, m=89 g=89/1000=0.089 kg
1 kg=1000 g
Power, P=12 W
Speed, v=11 m/s
We have to find the metabolic power for starting flight.
We know that
Metabolic power for starting flight=
Using the formula
Metabolic power for starting flight=
Metabolic power for starting flight=134.8W/kg
Hence, the metabolic power for starting flight=134.8W/kg
The gravitional potential energy, relative to the bottom of the giant drop, in joules, is (9800) times (the height of the drop in meters).
That's the PE of the empty car only, not counting any hapless screaming souls who may be trapped in it at that moment.
