Peregrine falcons frequently grab prey birds from the air. Sometimes they strike at high enough speeds that the force of the impact disables prey birds. A 480 g peregrine falcon high in the sky spies a 240 g pigeon some distance below. The falcon slows to a near stop, then goes into a dive--called a stoop--and picks up speed as she falls. The falcon reaches a vertical speed of 45 m/s before striking the pigeon, which we can assume is stationary. The falcon strikes the pigeon and grabs it in her talons. The collision between the birds lasts 0.015 s. What is the final speed of the falcon and pigeon? Express your answer with the appropriate units. Ufp = Part B Value Fp,av = What is the average force on the pigeon during the impact? Express your answer with the appropriate units. μA Units Value ? Units ?

7.56 A 1500-kg rocket is Figure P7.56 to be launched with an initial upward speed of 50.0 m/s. In order to assist its engines, the engineers will start it from rest on a ramp that rises 53° above the horizon- tal (Fig. P7.56). At the bot- tom, the ramp turns upward and launches the rocket ver- tically. The engines provide a constant forward thrust of 2000 N, and friction with the ramp surface is a constant 500 N. How far from the base of the ramp should the rocket start, as measured along the surface of the ramp? Rocket starts here. 53% Rocket is launched upward.
10 kg weight starts at rest and then pushed rightly by a force of 59 N for 8 s on a horizontal, frictionless floor. force is removed, the weight hits a second weight with mass M, that is at first at rest, both move together at 25 m/s. Wha's the speed of the 10 kg weight after being pushed for 8 s (and before the collision)?
