These squirrels glide from tree to tree at a constant speed, moving in a straight line tipped below the vertical and steadily losing altitude as they move forward. Short and long glides have different profiles. A squirrel completing a short glide travels in a straight line tipped 40° below the horizontal. The squirrel starts 9.0 m above the ground on one tree and glides to a second tree that is a horizontal distance of 3.5 m away.a. What is the length of the squirrel’s glide path?b.
