A 300 g bird flying along at 6.3m/s sees a 10 g insect heading straight toward it with a speed of 32m/s (as measured by an observer on the ground, not by the bird). The bird opens its mouth wide and enjoys a nice lunch.
Part A What is the bird's speed immediately after swallowing? Express your answer using two significant figures.
Momentum is conserved.
m1 v1 + m2 v2 = (m1 + m2) * v
300 * 6.3 + 10 * (-32) = (300 + 10) * v
v = 5.06 m/s

A 300 g bird flying along at 5.5 m/s sees a 10g insect heading straight toward it with a speed of 25 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? _____m/s
A 270 g bird flying along at 6.2 m/s sees a 12 g insect heading straight toward it with a speed of 27 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?
A 290 g bird flying along at 5.8 m/s sees a 9.0 g insect heading straight toward it with a speed of 25 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? I tried plugging in the numbers using answers from other questions and got 3.8m/s but it says it is wrong: 0.29*5.8 + 0.009*(-25) = 0.38*V
