Bird A, with a mass of 2.2 kg, is stationary while Bird B, with a mass of 1.7 kg, is moving due north from Bird A at 3 m/s. What is the velocity of the center of mass for this system of two birds

1.3 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of bird A,

Mass of bird B,

Initial speed of bird A is 0 as it was at rest

Initial speed of bird B is 3 m/s

We need to find the velocity of the center of mass for this system of two birds. Let it is V. so,

So, the center of mass for this system is 1.3 m/s.

think its the third option

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.
