Human-powered flight human-powered aircraft require a pilot to pedal, as in a bicycle, and produce a sustained power output of about 0.30 hp. the gossamer albatross flew across the english channel on june 12, 1979, in 2 h 49 min.

how many snickers candy bars (280 cal per bar) would the pilot have to consume to be "fueled up" for the flight? note: the nutritional calorie, 1 cal, is equivalent to 1000 calories (1000 cal) as defined in physics. in addition, the conversion factor between calories and joules is as follows: 1cal = 1000 cal = 1kcal = 4186 j.

Ihope you find the answer

Since you have not included the experiment situation and the data, of course, i can not give you specific details about it. but i can you with this question.1) i will assume that the motion is projectile (parabolic) motion.2) yes, the horizontal distance depends on the horizontal velocity as, naming vx the horizontal velocity and t the time, it is: x = vx × t3) now, observe that the flight time depends on the vertical velocity as, naming voy the initial vertical velocity, t the time and y the vertical distance before reaching the ground: y = yo + voy×t - gt² / 2.the higher the initial vertical velocity (voy) the longer the object will be flying and so t will be higher in the equation for the horizontal distance.that explains the relationship between the horizontal distance and the horizontal velocity.
