Review. You can think of the workkinetic energy theorem as a second theory of motion, parallel to Newtons laws in describing how outside influences affect the motion of an object. In this problem, solve parts (a), (b), and (c) separately from parts (d) and (e) so you can compare the predictions of the two theories.

A hummingbird is able to hover because, as the wings move downward, they exert a downward force on the air. Newtons third law tells us that the air exerts an equal and opposite force (upward) on the wings. The average of this force must be equal to the weight of the bird when it hovers. If the wings move through a distance of 3.5 cm with each stroke, and the wings beat 80 times per second, determine the work performed by the wings on the air in 1 m if the mass of the hummingbird is 3.0 g.
