Small birds can migrate over long distances without feeding, storing energy mostly as fat rather than carbohydrate. (Figure 1) Fat is a good form of energy storage because it provides the most energy per unit mass: 1 gram of fat provides about 9.4 (food) Calories, compared to 4.2 (food) Calories per 1 gram of carbohydrate. Remember that Calories associated with food, which are always capitalized, are not exactly the same as calories used in physics or chemistry, even though they have the same name. More specifically, one food Calorie is equal to 1000 calories of mechanical work or 4186 joules. Therefore, in this problem use the conversion factor 1Cal=4186J. Part AConsider a bird that flies at an average speed of 10.7m/s and releases energy from its body fat reserves at an average rate of 3.70W (this rate represents the power consumption of the bird). Assume that the bird consumes 4g of fat to fly over a distance db without stopping for feeding. How far will the bird fly before feeding again?Express your answer in kilometers. Part BHow many grams of carbohydrate mcarb would the bird have to consume to travel the same distance db?Express your answer in gramsPart CField observations suggest that a migrating ruby-throated hummingbird can fly across the Gulf of Mexico on a nonstop flight traveling a distance of about 800km . Assuming that the bird has an average speed of 40.0km/hr and an average power consumption of 1.70W , how many grams of fat mfat does a ruby-throated hummingbird need to accomplish the nonstop flight across the Gulf of Mexico?Express your answer in grams.

It is reasonable to assume that the bulk modulus of blood is about the same as that of water (2.2 gpa). as one goes deeper and deeper in the ocean, the pressure increases by 10000 pa for every meter below the surface. if a diver goes down 80.0 m in the ocean, by how much does each cubic centimeter of her blood change in volume? give the answer in cubic centimeters (actually one cubic centimeter equals one milliliter).

Charge is distributed along the entire x-axis with uniform density λ. how much work does the electric field of this charge distribution do on an electron that moves along the y-axis from y = a to y = b? (use the following as necessary: a, b, ε0, λ, and q for the charge on an electron.)
