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.
KE = 1/2 x 80 x 60^2
KE = 144000
