A hawk is flying horizontally at 24.0 m/s in a straight line, 185 m above the ground. A mouse it has been carrying struggles free from its talons. The hawk continues on its path at the same speed for 2.00 s before attempting to retrieve its prey. To accomplish the retrieval, it dives in a straight line at constant speed and recaptures the mouse 2.00 m above the ground.

(a) Assuming no air resistance acts on the mouse, find the diving speed of the hawk.
m/s

(b) What angle did the hawk make with the horizontal during its descent?
° (below the horizontal)

(c) For what time interval did the mouse experience free fall?
s

    A hawk is flying horizontally Southward at an altitude of 187.0 m and at a speed of 2.20 m/s when he spots a slow-flying finch ahead of his current location and below his current path. At time zero, the hawk starts a dive by controlling the contact forces on him by the air so as to produce an acceleration of 4.00 m/s2 in a direction 80.0 degrees below horizontally Southward for a time of 0.750 seconds. Part A What is...
