Textbook Question

Chapter P.1, Problem 15P

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.

At the bottom of the are, as in Figure 1.3, what is the direction of the net force on the falcon?

Suppose the falcon weighs 8.0 N and is turning with an acceleration of 15 m/s² at the lowest point of the are. What is the magnitude of the upward lift force at this instant?

A. 8.0 N

B. 12 N

C. 16 N

D. 20 N

In the Soap Box Derby, kids build non-motorized cars with very low-friction wheels. They race by rolling down a hill. The track at Akron's Derby Downs begins with a 14-meter section tilted 15 degrees below the horizontal. A. Draw a useful pictorial representation for this problem. Clearly indicate the angle above, and a useful coordinate system. B. What is the acceleration of a car rolling down this hill (ignore friction)? C. If a car starts from rest at the top of the section so that will be its speed at the bottom of this section of the track?
