Question

Calculate how much energy (in Joules) it takes for a bird of 134.6 g to fly 34.8 m to the top of a tree from the ground. Calculate the value assuming only vertical displacement. Recall the gravitational constant is 9.81 m/s2.

Answer 1

45.51 J

Step-by-step explanation:

Energy in relation to vertical displacement = P.E.

P.E. (potential energy) = mgh

m = 134.6g = 0.1346 kg

g = 9.81m/s²

h = 34.8m

since, P.E = mgh = 0.1346 × 9.81 × 34.8

= 45.51J
