A plane wishes to fly due north to an airport which is 205 km away. The plane can fly at a speed in still air of 220 km/h. A wind of 43 km/h blows from east to west. a. In which direction, relative to north, should the plane head to reach it’s destination?

b. How long does this take?

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.

d. platinum would have the greatest temperature increase because it has the lowest specific heat.
