The mass of a hawk is twice that of the pigeons it hunts. Suppose a pigeon is gliding at a velocity of 23.0 m/s [E] when a hawk swoops down and grabs the pigeon. The hawk was flying at a velocity 35.0 m/s [E 45° +] at the instant of the attack. Find the final velocity vector of the birds immediately after the attack. How much kinetic energy (as a percentage of total energy) has been lost in the collision? Hawk Up Pigeon

A firefighter directs a horizontal stream of water toward a fire at an angle of 40° measured from the horizontal. The fire hydrant and hose deliver 93 gallons per minute (1 gal/min = 6.31 ⨯ 10−5 m3/s), and the nozzle projects the water with a speed of 8.3 m/s. How much horizontal force must the firefighter exert on the hose to keep it stationary?

An acrobatic buccaneer swings from one rope to another in the rigging of a pirate ship. As she grasps the rope, her mass is m, 63.5 kg; knots on the rope make the rope's effective mass m, 1.50 kg. From the height %D she grabs the rope, she swings up a further distance of 1.50 m. Assuming that her collision with the rope is perfectly inelastic, answer the following questions: {Note: Treat as a ballistic pendulum problem!} mehanical a) Does the buccaneer's collision with the rope conserve her-kietie en- ergy? {Y/N?} b) Neglecting any energy losses due to friction, air drag, etc., determine the velocity of the buccaneer + rope system right after she grabs the rope in m/s. {Assume a closed system, thus Conservation of Energy} c) Is it possible to calculate the buccaneer's initial speed before she grabbed the rope from the information given? {Y/N?}
A projectile is fired towards a material that it was able to penetrate with ease. It took the projectile 18023 μs to penetrate the material. Measurement shows that the initial kinetic energy of the projectile is 5622.144 J at the velocity of 242 m/s. Exit velocity of the projectile from the material shows that the velocity at 86 m/s. A deviation of 0.71558499331768 rad in the trajectory below the horizontal was plotted based on analysis of the projectile's flight path. What is the magnitude of force that affected the projectile's motion?

4.12). As given in Figure 4, a thin uniform rod with mass M 3 kg and length I=0.4 m isfixed at one end and positioned horizontally. It swings after being released and collides with astationary block of mass m=1 kg at the lowest point of its swing. Then the block sticks to the lowerend of the rod and they keep swinging together until the rod makes an angle θ with the vertical. Findthe maximum value of θ that the rod block system can move up to.
