The energy from the sun that reaches the corn is about two billionths.
Answer:
83.67 m/s
Explanation:
Set up a calculation to convert units of measure to what you need.
You have km/s and you need m/s.
4.08km 1000 m 83.67m
----------- X ---------- = --------------- the km will cancel out and you are left
12.0 s 1 km s with m/s
The formula for potential energy is
E(p) = mgh
(Mass x gravity x height)
Therefore energy = (5.3)(9.8)(6.6)
= 342.8 J
How did I get 9.8?
9.8 is the constant for gravity
