A falcon is diving at a speed of 30m/s. It accelerates at a rate of 40m/sand reaches a speed of 100m/s. Calculate the distance it travels during its acceleration.

Reasd through the explanartion first :)

Explanation:

Initial velocity, u = 30 m/s

Final velocity, v = 100 m/s

Acceleration, a = 40 m/s²

Distance traveled, s = ?

According to the 3rd equation of motion,

We know that,

v² - u² = 2as

So, putting all the values, we get

⇒ v² - u² = 2as

⇒ (100)² - (30)² = 2 × 40 × s

⇒ 10000 - 900 = 80s

⇒ 9100 = 80s

⇒ 9100/80 = s

⇒ s = 113.75 m.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
