How high was the cliff?
Black vultures excel at gliding flight; they can move long distances through the air without flapping their wings while undergoing only a modest drop in height. A vulture in a typical glide in still air moves along a path tipped 3.5° below the horizontal. If the vulture moves a horizontal distance of 100 m, how much height does it lose?
An eagle dives toward the ground with a constant velocity of 4.70 m/s at 57.0° below the horizontal. The Sun is directly overhead and casts a shadow of the eagle directly below it. What is the speed (in m/s) of its shadow on level ground?
