The Kinetic Energy of a Drone Flying at a Height of 100m

What is the drone's kinetic energy as it flies?

A 0.75 kg drone is flying at 15 m/s at a height of 100 m. What is the drone’s kinetic energy as it flies?

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the drone flying at a height of 100m is found to be 84.375 Joules.

The mass of the drone is 0.75 kg and it is flying at a speed of 15 m/s at a height of 100 m. The formula to calculate kinetic energy is K = 1/2MV², where M is the mass of the body, V is the speed of the body, and K is the kinetic energy of the body.

By substituting the values in the formula, we get:

K = 1/2(0.75)(15)²

K = 0.5(0.75)(15 × 15)

K = 84.375 Joules

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the drone flying at a height of 100m is 84.375 Joules.
