Peregrine falcons often grab their prey in flight. A falcon, flying at 18 m/s, swoops down at a 45° angle from behind a pigeon flying horizontally at 9.0 m/s. The falcon has a mass of 0.80 kg and the pigeon a mass of 0.36 kg. (a) Draw a before-and-after visual overview of the problem statement. (b) Calculate magnitude and direction of the the velocity of the falcon (now holding the pigeon) immediately after impact?

28. Il Peregrine falcons frequently grab prey birds from the air, as BI0 in Example 9.10. Sometimes they strike at high enough speeds that the force of the impact disables prey birds. A 480 g per- egrine falcon high in the sky spies a 240 g pigeon some dis- tance below. The falcon slows to a near stop, then goes into ve-called a stoop-and picks up speed as she falls. The n reaches a vertical speed of 45 m/s before...

To protect their young in the nest, peregrine falcons will fly into birds of prey (such as ravens) at high speed. In one such episode, a 600 g falcon flying at 20.0 m/s hit a 1.40 kg raven flying at 9.0 m/s . The falcon hit the raven at right angles to its original path and bounced back at 5.0 m/s . (These figures were estimated by the author as he watched this attack occur in northern New Mexico.) By...

A 590 g falcon flying at 20.0 m/s hit a 1.40 kg raven flying at 9.0 m/s. The falcon hit the raven at right angles to its original path and bounced back at 5.0 m/s. By what angle did the falcon change the raven's direction or motion? What was the raven's speed after the collision?
