Question
Chapter 45, Problem 10TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction: All animals overcome frictional forces generated by air, water or surface of the land for locomotion. Therefore, all forms of locomotion require energy to provide thrust and lift. Thrust is defined as the forward motion of an animal in any environment. Lift is defined as the movement against gravity.
