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

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?
Tarzan swings on a vine to rescue a helpless explorer (as usual) from some wild animal.He starts his movement from a branch 50 feet above the ground, grabs the explorer at the bottom ofits swing, and continues the movement, upward this time, until both land safely on another branch.Suppose that Tarzan's mass is 90 kg and the explorer's is 70 kg, and that Tarzan not only lets go of the branch, butjumps up to start swinging with a speed of 5.0 m/s. How high of a branch can he and the explorerreach?
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. The moment of inertia of the rodabout its center is I rod=1/12mRod L^2

In a train crash, a train of mass 1.85 x 104 kg collides with a stationary train of mass 2.20 x 104 kg at a speed of u = 20.0 ms-1. Filling the crash, they connect and move at the same speed. There is no friction. The train driver blows a whistle which is open at one end and closed at the other. It has a length of 0.480m . The speed of sound in air is 343 ms-1. 1. Draw a diagram of the standing wave pattern of the air pressure in the whistle for its fundamental resonant frequency. Label the open and closed ends of the whistle. 2. calculate the frequency of the sound made by the whistles fundamental resonance.
