Question
point of release) when it has fallen the12.0 m
An owl is carrying a mouse to the chicks in its nest. It is 4.00 m west and 12.0 m above the center of the 30 cm diameter nest and is flying east at 4.00 m/s at an angle 27⁰
below the horizontal when it accidentally drops the mouse. Will it fall into the nest? Find out by solving for the horizontal position of the mouse (measured in meters from the
point of release) when it has fallen the 12.0 m.
(a) If it takes the bird 21.0 min to travel 6.00 km relative to the earth, what is the velocity (in m/s) of the wind?
m/s
(b) If the bird turns around and flies with the wind, how long (in s) will he take to return 6.00 km?
(c) Discuss how the wind affects the total round-trip time compared to what it would be with no wind.
