Peregrine falcons are the fastest birds in the world, reaching max- imum speeds of up to 320 km/h (88 m/s) during a hunting stoop. in one such episode, a 600-g falcon traveling at its top speed hits a 458-g pigeon flying east. the falcon, also flying directly east hits the pigeon from directly behind. the falcon grabs the pigeon with its talons and the pair travels together at a speed of 65 m/s. what is the energy lost in the collision? (hint: the total initial kinetic energy is not just the falcon's kinetic energy; assume that the height of the birds does not change during the collision)

It's a snowy day and you're pulling a friend along a level road on a sled. you've both been taking physics, so she asks what you think the coefficient of friction between the sled and the snow is. you've been walking at a steady 1.5m/s, and the rope pulls up on the sled at a 32 ∘ angle. you estimate that the mass of the sled, with your friend on it, is 65 kg and that you're pulling with a force of 80 n .

Visualize the problem and identify special cases first examine the problem by drawing a picture and visualizing the motion. apply newton's 2nd law, ∑f⃗ =ma⃗ , to each body in your mind. don't worry about which quantities are given. think about the forces on each body: how are these consistent with the direction of the acceleration for that body? can you think of any special cases that you can solve quickly now and use to test your understanding later? one special case in this problem is if m2=0, in which case block 1 would simply fall freely under the acceleration of gravity: a⃗ 1=−gj^.
