Question
A goose is flying south for the winter at a constant speed. Keep in mind that one mile is 1.61 km , and one pound is 454 g .The goose has a mass of 19.8lb (pounds) and is flying at 10.1miles/h (miles per hour). What is the kinetic energy of the goose in joules? A goose is flying south for the winter at a constant speed. Keep in mind that one mile is 1.61 km , and one pound is 454 g .

The goose has a mass of 19.8lb (pounds) and is flying at 10.1miles/h (miles per hour). What is the kinetic energy of the goose in joules?
Explanation / Answer
mass in kg
= 19.8*0.454 kg
=8.9892 kg
and vellocity in m /s
= 10.1*1.61 *5/18
= 4.52 m/s
also kinetic energy =0.5mv^2
=0.5*8.9892*4.52^2 j
= 91.70 J
