Motion Equations for Constant Acceleration in One Dimension (Problem 31)
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? Select the answer to part (a).
