Pulling Out of a Dive
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 are 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 are, as in Figure 1.3, a falcon can easily achieve an acceleration of 15 m/s2.
FIGURE 1.3
At the bottom of the are, as in Figure 1.3, 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.

- A 2.6-kg block is on a perfectly smooth ramp that makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal. Hints a. What is the block's acceleration down the ramp and the force and the force of the ramp on the block? The block accelerates down at m/st; the ramp applies a force of N on the block. b. What force applied upward along and parallel to the ramp would allow the block to move with constant velocity? The block could move with constant velocity when force of magnitude is applied. Submit Questionarrow_forwardSolve and answer the following question showing the complete step-by-step process. 1. A 50.0-g Super Ball traveling at 25.0 m/s bounces off a brick wall and rebounds at 22.0 m/s. A high-speed camera records this event. If the ball is in contact with the wall for 3.50 m/s, what is the magnitude of the average acceleration of the ball during this time interval?arrow_forwardPlease see the image provided for context and solve the following problem: Solve for and use the magnitude of the force of friction on Debbie and the tension in the rope to solve the problem. The bruin is hungrier than Sarita anticipated, and she decided she needs to pull harder, accelerating Debbie up the rocky slope. Sarita's rope can only manage a tension of 950N. What is the maximum acceleration Sarita can accomplish with this rope?arrow_forward
- Please answer question and just send me the paper solutions asap dont type the answer question 2 please Find the angle too using cos or tan and make fbd diagram and answer like m/s with the direction and use newton second law asap please faster i really need helparrow_forwardStuck need help! Problem is attached. please view attachment before answering. Really struggling with this concept. Please explain so I can better understand ! Thank you so mucharrow_forwardThe tire on this drag racer is severely twisted: The force of the road on the tire is quite large (most likely several times the weight of the car) and is directed forward as shown. Is the car speeding up or slowing down? Explain.arrow_forward
- I am stuck on this question.arrow_forwardParachute manufacturers provide the fall speed of an open chute as a function of person weight. If we open our chute at 3000 ft, how long will it take to land? Select all observations that apply below. A. Gravity opposes the fall of an open chute. B. Fall speed equals left parenthesis person weight right parenthesis cubed divided by left parenthesis density of air right parenthesisFall speed=(person weight)3/(density of air). C. It takes 5 minutes to land regardless of person weight. D. There is little need to make observations.arrow_forwardConsider a person in a chair with wheels (like you have in lab, say). A friend pushes you down the hallway. They let go when you are moving at 4 m/s. You and the chair have a mass of 85 kg. The frictional force between the chair’s wheels and the ground is 18 Newtons. You and the chair will slow to a stop. a) Draw a motion of you and the chair slowing to a stop. Label the acceleration with an arrow. b) Force list for you and the chair c) Free body diagram for you and the chair d) Write each force as a vector using bracket notation. Fill in numbers for each component. e) Write (sum of F) = m x a for yarrow_forward
- In rock climbing, various rope and pulley systems have been devised to help haul up heavy loads, including injured climbers. A rescuer is hauling up an injured climber who weighs 570 NN using the rope and pulley system shown in (Figure 1). (The ropes in this figure are drawn at various angles for clarity, but you can assume they're all vertical.) What is the tension in rope 1, the rope that the rescuer pulls on? What is the tension in rope 2?arrow_forwardI need help on this entire thing?arrow_forwardplease answer question and just send me the paper solutions asap dont type the answer please and find everything that is asked please and the Angle using cos and tan if need please do not leave that and answer will the directions please solve question 2 asap please faster i just have 15 mins please faaster and only use the given formula please Dont forget the angle pleasearrow_forward
