A 10 kg migratory swan cruises at 20m/s. A calculation that takes into ac-count the necessary forces shows that this motion requires 200W of mechanical power. If we assume an efficiency similar to humans (say, 25%), a reasonableassumption, then the metabolic power of the swan is significantly higher thanthis. The swan does not stop to eat during a long day of flying; it get theenergy it needs from fat stores. Assuming an efficiency similar to humans, after12 hours of flight.
Required:
a. How far has the swan traveled?
b. How much metabolic energy has it used?
c. What fraction of its body mass does it lose?
