A swan on a lake gets airborne by flapping its wings and running on top of the water. If the swan must reach a velocity of 6.40

m/s to take off and it accelerates from rest at an average rate of 0.380 m/s², how far (in m) will it travel before becoming airborne?

Answer:

53.895 m.

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion,

v² = u² + 2as .............. Equation 1

Where v = final velocity of the swan, u = initial velocity of the swan, a = acceleration of the swan, s = distance covered by the swan.

make s the subject of the equation,

s = (v² - u²)/2a----------- Equation 2

Given: v = 6.4 m/s, u = 0 m/s ( from rest)  a = 0.380 m/s².

Substitute into equation 2

s = (6.4²-0²)/(2×0.380)

s = 40.96/0.76

s = 53.895 m.

Hence the swan will travel 53.895 m before becoming airborne.

Answer:

1) d

2) 5 m/s

3) 100

Explanation:

The equation of position x for a constant acceleration a and an initial velocity v₀, initial position x₀, time t is:

(i) x=\frac{1}{2}at^2+v_0t+x_0

The equation for velocity v and a constant acceleration a is:

(ii) v=at+v_0

1) Solve equation (ii) for acceleration a and plug the result in equation (i)

(iii) a = \frac{v -v_0}{t}

(iv) x = \frac{v-v_0}{2t}t^2+v_0t + x_0

Simplify equation (iv) and use the given values v = 0, x₀ = 0:

(v) x=-\frac{v_0}{2}t + v_0t= \frac{v_0}{2}t

2) Given v₀= 3m/s, a=0.2m/s², t=10 s. Using equation (ii) to get the final velocity v:v=at+v_0=0.2\frac{m}{s^2} * 10s+3\frac{m}{s}=2\frac{m}{s}+3\frac{m}{s}=5\frac{m}{s}

3) Given v₀=0m/s, t₁=10s, t₂=1s and x₀=0. Looking for factor f = x(t₁)/x(t₂) using equation(i) to calculate x(t₁) and x(t₂):

f=\frac{x(t_1)}{x(t_2)}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}at_1^2 }{\frac{1}{2}at_2^2}=\frac{t_1^2}{t_2^2}=\frac{10^2}{1^2}=\frac{100}{1}

Renewable resources are going to be important in our future because if we use up all of our NON-renewable resources now, then we’ll still have the renewable resources to depend on.
