an eagle has a mass of 8 kg and is flying 85 m above the ground with a speed of 20 m/s. what is the total mechanical energy of the eagle?

Respuesta :

Total Mechanical Energy = KE + PE

KE = (1/2)mv²

     = (1/2)*8*20² = 1600 J

PE = mgh      g ≈ 10 m/s²

       = 8 * 10 * 85 = 6800J

Total Mechanical = 1600 + 6800 = 8400 J.
