How long would it take a hawk to stop if he was flying at 9m/s and decelerated at 3m/s2?

3 seconds

Explanation:

From the question above,

we can apply the first equation of motion which is,

a = (v-u)/t Equation 1

Where a = acceleration. v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.

make t the subject of the equation

t = (v-u)/a Equation 2

Given: a = -3 m/s²(decelerating), u = 9 m/s, v = 0 m/s (to stop)

substitute these values into equation 2

t = (0-9)/-3

t = -9/-3

t = 3 seconds

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.

answer: the metamorphic rocks are formed when they are exposed to high pressure and high temperatures. this happens when one of the earth's plates comes in contact with the other plate by traveling in opposite directions, straight into each other or slipping under one another. the friction that is caused by this activity results in   melting of rocks and when it cools they are known as metamorphic rocks. this process needs a controlled amount of pressure and temperature otherwise it may turn into magma.
