Question

Falcons are excellent fliers that can reach very high speeds by diving nearly straight down. To pull out of such a dive, a falcon extends its wings and flies through a circular arc that redirects its motion. The forces on the falcon that control its motion are its weight and an upward lift force—like an airplane—due to the air flowing over its wings. At the bottom of the arc, as shown, a falcon can easily achieve an acceleration of 15 m/s².

At the bottom of the arc, as shown, what is the direction of the net force on the falcon?
A. To the left, opposite the motion
B. To the right, in the direction of the motion
C. Up
D. Down
E. The net force is zero.
