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/s2, 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?

An aging coyote cannot run fast enough to catch a road-runner. He purchases on eBay a set of jet-powered roller skates, which provide a constant horizontal acceleration of 15.0 m/s2 (Fig. P1.78). The coyote starts at rest 70.0 in from the edge of a cliff at the instant the roadrunner zips past in the direction of the cliff, (a) Determine the minimum constant speed the roadrunner must have to reach the cliff before the coyote. At the edge of the cliff', the roadrunner escapes by making a sudden turn, while the coyote continues straight ahead. The coyotes skates remain horizontal and continue to operate while he is in flight, so his acceleration while in the air ss (15.0 - 9.80j) m/s2, (b) The cliff is 100 m above the flat floor of the desert. Determine how far from the base of the vertical cliff the coyote lands, (c) Determine the components of the coyotes impact velocity.
An astronaut on the surface of the Moon fires a cannon to launch an experiment package, which leaves the barrel moving horizontally. Assume the free-fall acceleration on the Moon is one-sixth of that on the Earth. (a) What must the muzzle speed of the package be so that it travels completely around the Moon and returns to its original location? (b) What time interval does this trip around the Moon require?
The cheetah can reach a top speed of 114 km/h (71 mi/h). While chasing its prey in a short sprint, a cheetah starts from rest and runs 45 m in a straight line, reaching a final speed of 72 km/h.

An insect called the froghopper (Philaenus spumarius) has been called the best juniper in the animal kingdom. This insect can accelerate at over 4.0 103 m/s2 during a displacement of 2.0 mm as it straightens its specially equipped jumping legs. (a) Assuming uniform acceleration, what is the insect's speed after it has accelerated through this short distance? (b) How long does it take to reach that speed? (c.) How high could the insect jump if air resistance could be ignored? Note that, the actual height obtained is about 0.70 m, so air resistance is important here.
