Ornithologists have determined that some species of birds tend to avoid ights over large bodies of water during daylight hours. It is believed that more energy is required to fly over water than land because air generally rises over land and falls over water during the day. A bird with these tendencies is released from an island that is 5 km from the nearest point B on the shoreline flies to a point C on the shoreline, and then flies along the shoreline to its nesting area D. Assume that the bird instinctively chooses a path that will minimize its energy expenditure. Points 3 and D are 9 km apart (Round your answers to two decimal places.) (a) In general, if it takes 1.4 times as much energy to fly over water as land, to what point C should the bird y in order to minimize the total energy expended in returning to its nesting area? (b) Let W and L denote the energy (in joules] per kilometer flown over water and land, respectively. Assuming the bird's energy expenditure is minimized determine a function for the ratio W/L in terms of X, the distance from B to C x2 + 29 .'C E L X (c) What should the value of W/L be in drder for the bird ta fly directly to its nesting area D? x (d) It the ornithologists observe that birds of a certain species reach the share at a point 4 km from 51 how many times more energy does it take a bird to fly over water than land? x
