The mass of the bird is 0.32 kg.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Gravitational potential energy, the energy exhibited by an object at rest due to the influence of gravitational force. So the increase in distance of object from the surface of earth leads to increase in the gravitational potential energy. Thus,
So, as the gravitational potential energy is given as 2033 J and the position of bird placed on the tall tower is 639 m away from the bottom, then the mass (m) of the bird can be found as below.
So, finally we get the bird's mass as,
m of bird = 0.32 kg

First, let's convert that speed into m/s.
150 km/h * 1000 m/km / 3600 s/h = 41.667 m/s
Now let's see how much time gravity has to work on the ball. Divide the distance by the speed.
18 m / 41.667 m/s = 0.431996544 s
Now multiply that time by the gravitational acceleration to see what the vertical component to the ball's speed that gravity adds.
0.431996544 s * 9.8 m/s^2 = 4.233566131 m/s
Use the pythagorean theorem to get the new velocity of the ball.
sqrt(41.667^2 + 4.234^2) = 41.882 m/s
Finally, let's see what the difference is
(41.882 - 41.667)/41.667 = 0.005159959 = 0.5159959%
Rounding to 2 figures, gives 0.52%</span>
