The mass of a particular eagle is twice that of a hunted pigeon. Suppose the pigeon is flying north at ?i,2=16.3 m/s when the eagle swoops down, grabs the pigeon, and flies off. At the instant right before the attack, the eagle is flying toward the pigeon at an angle ?=43.9° below the horizontal and a speed of ?i,1=39.1 m/s.

What is the speed of the eagle immediately after it catches its prey?

What is the magnitude of the angle, measured from horizontal, at which the eagle is flying immediately after the strike?

The mass of a pigeon hawk is twice that of the pigeons it hunts. Suppose a pigeon is gliding north at a speed of ?P=24.7 m/svP=24.7 m/s when a hawk swoops down, grabs the pigeon, and flies off, as shown in the figure. The hawk was flying north at a speed of ?H=32.5 m/s,vH=32.5 m/s, at an angle ?=45∘θ=45∘ below the horizontal at the instant of the attack. What is the birds' final speed ?fvf just after the attack? What...

Peregrine falcons often grab their prey in flight. A falcon, flying at 18 m/s, swoops down at a 45 degree angle from behind a pigeon flying horizontally at 9.0 m/s. The falcon has a mass of .80Kg and the pigeon has a mass of .36Kg. A) Write down the equation for conservation of momentum for this problem. B) What is the initial momentum (magnitude and direction) of the falcon and the pigeon? C) What is the speed in x direction,...

A peregrine falcon sees a pigeon flying below it and dives to catch it. Suppose that the pigeon is flying horizontally at 10 m/s and has a mass of 200 grams; the falcon, diving straight downward, has a mass of 500 grams. Immediately after the falcon catches the pigeon, you observe that it is no longer moving straight downward; its path instead makes an angle of 2.3? with the vertical. How fast was the falcon moving when it caught the...

The bird (mass .9 kg) flies towards the cat (mass 3.6 kg) with a horizontal velocity of 28 m/s to catch him so the speed of 5 m/s at an angle of 70° above horizontal. At the highest point in the cats jump it catches the bird and holds onto it until hitting the ground. how far from it starting point does the cat hit the ground? Assume ground is flat and they were moving north.

A 1 kg mass is on a horizontal frictionless surface and is attached to a horizontal spring with a spring constant of 144 N/m. The spring's unstretched length is 20 cm. You pull on the mass and stretch the spring 5 cm and release it. The period of its oscillations is T=.524s The amplitude of the block's oscillatory motion is 5cm The maximum velocity of the oscillating mass is 60cm/s Part E) While the frictionless surface is working well, the...
