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 NC. 16 N D. 20 Narrow_forwardAs a raindrop falls through the atmosphere, its speed initially increases as it falls toward the Earth.

- A ball of mass 1.6 kg and a diameter of 41.1 cm is attached to a string of length 1.1 m. It moves in a circular path at constant speed, 4.5 m above the ground. The string makes a constant angle of 42° with respect to vertical. m (a) What is the speed of the ball? (b) What is the tension in the string?arrow_forwardSuppose that in the future humans can travel to different earth like planets within our galaxy. You take a trip to a new planet with a different gravitational acceleration than earth. To test this gravitational acceleration, you decide to drop a ball a distance of 2 meters. You measure how long it takes the ball to fall 2.0 meter multiple times and take an average. The average drop time is 0.52 seconds. What is the approximate magnitude of the gravitational acceleration of the planet (in units of m/s squared)?arrow_forward= m = 2 kg boxes move along a conveyer belt at v = 3 m/s. The coefficient of friction between the boxes and the belt is us 0.4. When the emergency shutoff for the conveyer is triggered, it is desirable for the boxes to not slip. Assuming the emergency shutoff decelerates the belt at a constant rate, and all the belts are horizontal, what is the shortest shutoff time to ensure that no boxes slip? t = S Part 2 of 2 What would the minimum shutoff time be if somewhere along the belt there was a downward slope of 20°? t = Sarrow_forward
- A bicycle travels 7.50 km due east in 0.210 h, then 8.80 km at 15.0° east of north in 0.770 h, and finally another 7.50 km due east in 0.210 h to reach its destination.

The next ledge for the character's bike to land on is 25 m away (horizontally) and 12 m below. Assume the video game has realistic physics coded into it, except that acceleration due to gravity is only 8.0 m/s^2. a) will your character land on the next platform? b) whether they land or not, find their velocity (magnitude and direction) as they either land on or pass through the 12 m below position.arrow_forwardA truck is driving forward with a 90 kg crate on the back.
