Chapter 4, Problem 18PCE
Predict/Calculate A crow is flying horizontally with a constant speed of 2.70 m/s when it releases a clam from its beak (Figure 4-20). The clam lands on the rocky beach 2.10 s later. Just before the clam lands, what are (a) its horizontal component of velocity, and (b) its vertical component of velocity? (c) How would your answers to parts (a) and (b) change if the speed of the crow were increased? Explain.
