A certain hawk can fly horizontally (i.e., not diving) at a maximum speed of 80.0 km/hr. The hawk takes off from rest at the edge of a cliff, heading east, and accelerates at a rate of 1.25 m/s2 . a. How long does it take to reach its top speed? b. How far does it travel during this time? c. Once the hawk has reached its top speed, it turns 30 degrees to the south and flies at a constant speed for another 30 seconds. How far is it from the cliff at the end of this journey?
