Problem 31PE
A swan on a lake gets airborne by flapping its wings and running on top of the water. (a) If the swan must reach a velocity of 6.00 m/s to take off and it accelerates from rest at an average rate of 0.350 m/s2 , how far will it travel before becoming airborne? (b) How long does this take?
ANSWER:
Solution to 31PE
Step 1 of 1
We need to find the distance the swan travels in water before it is airborne and the time it takes for the swan to become airborne. The swan has to reach 6.0m/s speed so that it can take off. The swan accelerates at a rate of on average.
Given data:
Initial velocity of swan
Final velocity of swan
Acceleration of swan
