Question
**Peregrine Falcons and Impact Dynamics**

**Scenario Overview:**

Peregrine falcons are known to capture prey birds mid-air, sometimes reaching high speeds that their impact can disable these birds. A 480 g peregrine falcon spots a 240 g pigeon below. The falcon initially slows down and then accelerates into a dive, known as a stoop, reaching a vertical speed of 45 m/s before striking the pigeon, which is initially stationary. Upon collision, the falcon captures the pigeon with its talons. The impact duration is 0.015 seconds.

**Problem Statements:**

**Part A:**
- **Question:** What is the final speed of the falcon-pigeon system after impact?
- **Requirement:** Provide the answer with appropriate units.

- **Input Box:** 
  - Symbol: \( v_{fp} = \)
  - Two fields to enter numerical value and units.

**Part B:**
- **Question:** What is the average force experienced by the pigeon during the collision?
- **Requirement:** Provide the answer with appropriate units.

- **Input Box:** 
  - Symbol: \( F_{p,av} = \)
  - Two fields to enter numerical value and units.

This exercise applies principles of momentum conservation and force calculations during a collision event.
