A bird sitting in a tree is traveling at 30 km/s relative to the faraway Sun. When the bird drops to the ground below, does it still go 30 km/s, or does this speed become zero?
A bird sitting in a tree is travelling at 30 km/s relative to the faraway sun. When the bird drops to the ground below, does it still move at 30km/s, or does this speed become zero?
You are stationary on the ground and are watching a bird fly horizontally towards you at a rate of 1 m/s. The bird is located 20 m above your head. How fast does the angle of elevation of your head change when the horizontal distance between you and the bird is 50 m? (Leave your answer as an exact number.)
