Flapping flight is very energy intensive. A wind tunnel test
on an 89 g starling showed that the bird used 12 W of
metabolic power to fly at 11 m/s. What is its metabolic power for starting flight?

Answer:

The metabolic power for starting flight=134.8W/kg

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of starling, m=89 g=89/1000=0.089 kg

1 kg=1000 g

Power, P=12 W

Speed, v=11 m/s

We have to find the metabolic power for starting flight.

We know that

Metabolic power for starting flight=[tex]\frac{P}{m}[/tex]

Using the formula

Metabolic power for starting flight=[tex]\frac{12}{0.089}[/tex]

Metabolic power for starting flight=134.8W/kg

Hence, the metabolic power for starting flight=134.8W/kg
