Answer:

Miles/hour (miles per hour)

Explanation:

Speed is how far you go and how long it takes you to go that far.

For example (ignoring air drag) you would need to go 8 miles per second to put yourself in orbit around the earth (this is known as the escape velocity).

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

25032.47 W

Explanation:

Power is the time rate of doing work, hence,

P = Work done(non conservative) / time

Work done (non conservative) is given as:

W = total K. E. + total P. E.

Total K. E. = 0.5mv²- 0.5mu²

Where v (final velocity) = 7.0m/s, u (initial velocity) = 0m/s

Total P. E. = mgh(f) - mgh(i)

Where h(f) (final height) = 7.2m, h(i) (initial height) = 0 m

=> W = 0.5mv² - mgh(f)

P = [0.5mv² - mgh(f)] / t

P = [(0.5*790*7²) - (790*9.8*7.2)] / 3

P = (19355 + 55742.4) / 3 = 75097.4/3

P = 25032.47 W

Why is velocity and not just speed important to these pilots
Alborosie
Velocity is a vector. Therefore, it depends on the direction. Pilots need to know the direction of wind, not just the speed. If the pilot is going South, and there's 5 mph wind going South, they'll be happy, but if the wind is going 5 mph North, they'll be going against the wind.
