6.84 ●● BIO All birds, independent of their size, must maintain a power output of 10-25 watts per kilogram of body mass in order to fly by flapping their wings. (a) The Andean giant hummingbird (Patagona gigas) has mass 70 g and flaps its wings 10 times per second while hovering. Estimate the amount of work done by such a hummingbird in each wingbeat. (b) A 70-kg athlete can main- tain a power output of 1.4 kW for no more than a few seconds; the steady power output of a typical athlete is only 500 W or so. Is it possible for a human-powered aircraft to fly for extended periods by flapping its wings? Explain.

1. A 4.0 kg particle is moving at a velocity v = V2î – V2ĵ + 3k m/s. (a) (b) What is the particle's kinetic energy at this moment? What is the net work done on the particle if its velocity changes to - V2î + 3k m/s? V = - Assume that a force in the x y plane acts on the particle to slow it down (imagine (c) that this force is a type of friction). Will the particle's kinetic energy become zero under the influence of this force? Explain your answer.

Your 1,221 kg car, moving at 6 m/s, approaches the bottom of a hill that is 24 m high. To save fuel, you use on average only 4 kW of engine power. As you go up the hill, half of the energy delivered by the engine, and half of the initial kinetic will be dissipated. Your car will just barely make it over the hill. How much time, t, (in s) will it take for the car to reach the top of the hill? Type your answer.

A 12.0 kg box is given an initial push that starts it sliding across the floor. It eventually comes to a stop. If the box has an initial velocity of 3.5 m/s, how much work is done by friction to cause it to come to a stop? (Yes, you are correct, you do not know the coefficient of friction.)
Hi please help with the following: After hitting a long fly ball that goes over the right fielder's head and lands in the outfield, the batter decides to keep going past second base and try for third base. The 59 kg player begins sliding 3.40 m from the base with a speed of 4.35 m/s. If the player comes to rest at third base, how much work was done on the player by friction?
An advertisement claims that a(n) 1600 kg car can accelerate from rest to 26 m/s in 8.4 s. Given: Unit conversion: 746 W/hp.
