Peregrine falcons are the fastest birds in the world, reaching max- imum speeds of up to 320 km/h (88 m/s) during a hunting stoop. in one such episode, a 600-g falcon traveling at its top speed hits a 458-g pigeon flying east. the falcon, also flying directly east hits the pigeon from directly behind. the falcon grabs the pigeon with its talons and the pair travels together at a speed of 65 m/s. what is the energy lost in the collision? (hint: the total initial kinetic energy is not just the falcon's kinetic energy; assume that the height of the birds does not change during the collision)

Which explanation describes the forces involved for a person to walk down the sidewalk? a. the person's feet push backward on the sidewalk; the sidewalk pushes backward on the person. b. the person's feet push forward on the sidewalk; the sidewalk does not push on the person. c. the person's feet push backward on the sidewalk; the sidewalk pushes forward on the person. d. the person's feet push forward on the sidewalk; the sidewalk pushes forward on the person.

The earth is constantly spinning on its axis, like you might spin a basketball on your finger. it is this spinning of the earth that causes

Aball is thrown upward. at a height of 10 meters above the ground, the ball has a potential energy of 50 joules (with the potential energy equal to zero at ground level) and is moving upward with a kinetic energy of 50 joules. what is the maximum height h reached by the ball? consider air friction to be negligible. 1. h ≈ 10 m 2. h ≈ 50 m 3. h ≈ 30 m 4. h ≈ 40 m 5. h ≈ 20 m 003 10.0 points which of the two object shown below has the greatest kinetic energy? a m b 1 2 m v 2v 1. kinetic energies are the same. 2. a 3. b 4. unable to determine. 004 10.0 points tim, with mass 74.6 kg, climbs a gymnasium rope a distance of 3.1 m. the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . how much potential energy does tim gain? answer in units of j. 005 10.0 points a car is moving at 64 miles per hour. the kinetic energy of that car is 5 × 105 j. how much energy does the same car have when it moves at 111 miles per hour? answer in units of j. 006 10.0 points an 102 kg man climbs up a 1 m high flight of stairs. the acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 . w
