Question

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 arc 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 arc, as shown, a falcon can easily achieve an acceleration of 15 m/s².

Suppose the falcon weighs 8.0 N and is turning with an acceleration of 15 m/s² at the lowest point of the arc. 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
