A 1.5 kg bird is gliding at a height of 12 m with a speed of 3.8m/s. What is the kinetic energy of the bird, to the nearest joule?

A 1.5 kg bird is gliding at a height of 12 m with a speed of 3.8m/s. The kinetic energy of the bird is 10.83 joules.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy can be defined as,The kinetic energy (KE) of an object is the energy that the object possesses due to its motion.

The Kinetic energy can be calculated by using formula,

Kinetic Energy: KE = 1/2 (mv 2)

Where, m = Mass, v = Velocity.

Here in this case the bird mass is 1.5kg and is gliding with velocity 3.8m/s

hence, KE= 1/2*(1.5)×(3.8)^2

                   =0.5×1.5×3.8×3.8

                   =10.83Joules

  the grams     of oxygen gas   that can be produced     is 20.6   grams of o₂

calculation

2liclo₃ →   2 licl + 3 o₂

step 1:   find the moles of liclo₃

moles = mass÷ molar mass

from periodic table the molar mass of liclo₃ =6.9 +35.5   +(16 x3) =90.4 g/mol

moles=38.7 g÷90.4 g/mol=0.4281   moles

step 2:   use the   mole ratio   to calculate the moles of o2

from equation above, liclo₃: o₂   is 2: 3  

therefore the moles of   o₂=0.4281 moles x3/2 =0.6422   moles

step 3: find mass   of o₂

mass= moles x molar mass

from periodic table the   molar mass of   o₂ = 16 x2= 32 g/mol

mass=0.6422   moles   x   32 g/mol = 20.6 grams of o₂
