A 520.0 −g−g bird is flying horizontally at 2.50 m/s, not paying much attention, when it suddenly flies into a stationary vertical bar, hitting it 25.0 cm below the top (the figure (Figure 1)). The bar is uniform, 0.800 m long, has a mass of 1.80 kg , and is hinged at its base. The collision stuns the bird so that it just drops to the ground afterward (but soon recovers to fly happily away).

a)What is the angular velocity of the bar just after it is hit by the bird?

b)What is the angular velocity of the bar just as it reaches the ground?

A 300 g bird flying along at 6.0 m/s sees a 12 g insect heading straight toward it with a speed of 33 m/s (as measured by an observer on the ground, not by the bird). The bird opens its mouth wide and enjoys a nice lunch. What is the bird's speed immediately after swallowing? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

A seagull flying horizontally over the ocean at a constant speed of 3.15 m/s carries a small fish in its mouth. It accidentally lets go of the fish, and 1.85 s after letting go the fish lands in the ocean. (a) Just before reaching the ocean, what is the horizontal component of the fish's velocity? Ignore air resistance. Assume the bird is initially traveling in the positive x direction. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) __________ m/s...
