A certain type of bird lives in two regions of a state. The distribution of weight for birds of this type in the northern region
is approximately normal with mean 10 ounces and standard deviation 3 ounces. The distribution of weight for birds of this type in the southern region is approximately normal with mean 16 ounces and standard deviation 2.5 ounces. (a) Calculate the z -scores for a weight of 13 ounces for a bird living in the northern region and for a weight of 13 ounces for a bird living in the southern region.
If we assume negligible air resistance and heat loss, we can assume that all of the Gravitational potential energy of the ball will turn into Kinetic energy as it falls toward the ground.
Therefore our Kinetic energy = mgh = (10kg)(9.81N/kg)(100m) = 9,810J.
