A hawk is flying horizontally at 24.0 m/s in a straight line, 185 m above the ground. A mouse it has been carrying struggles free from its talons. The hawk continues on its path at the same speed for 2.00 s before attempting to retrieve its prey. To accomplish the retrieval, it dives in a straight line at constant speed and recaptures the mouse 2.00 m above the ground.
(a) Assuming no air resistance acts on the mouse, find the
diving speed of the hawk.
m/s
(b) What angle did the hawk make with the horizontal during its
descent?
° (below the horizontal)
(c) For what time interval did the mouse experience free
fall?
s

5. A hawk flying at 15 m/s at an altitude of 180 m accidentally drops its prey. The parabolic trajectory of the falling prey is described by the equation y180- 45 until it hits the ground, where y is its height above the ground and is the horizontal distance traveled in meters. Calculate the distance traveled by the prey from the time it is dropped until the time it hits the ground. Express you answer correct to the nearest tenth...

A plane is flying horizontally with speed 184 m/s at a height 2260 m above the ground, when a package is dropped from the plane. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 . What is the horizontal distance from the release point to the impact point? Answer in units of m. A second package is thrown downward from the plane with a vertical speed v1 = 69 m/s. What is the magnitude of the total velocity of the package at...

plane is flying horizontally and at a constant velocity of 100.0 m/s above the ocean. It is to deliver cargo to a small island. The cargo is dropped from the plane when it is a horizontal distance of 300.0 m away from the landing site of the cargo. Ignore air resistance. a) At what height above the ground is the plane flying? Use g = 9.8 m/s^2 b)Referring to the Plane Question, what is the sign of the vertical displacement...

An aircraft flying horizontally at a rate of 95.4 m/s drops a
packet from a height of 1,242 meters. Determine the speed the
package reaches at just the moment before touching the surface.
Consider both speed components.
If a body is dropped from a 401-foot-tall building, determine
the time in seconds it takes to reach the ground. (Free fall) enter
s as a unit of time.
