The drag coefficient for a Griffon Vulture with its wings and feet tucked in, diving head first though air, is 0.43 (Journal of Experimental Biology). What is the terminal speed that a Griffon Vulture with an average weight of 15 pounds reaches as it dives straight down to catch a rodent, just before it spreads its wings to slow down? 1 lb = 2.2 kg Select one: a. cannot be determined O b. 155 m/sec c. 18.5 m/sec O d. 12.5 m/sec e. 27.4 m/sec
