Hawks and gannets soar above the ground and, when they spot prey, they fold their wings and essentially drop like a stone. They have evolved a highly aerodynamic shape that lets gravity build up their speed without having to make the effort of trying to fly at a high speed (See the figure of a diving hawk below. The technical term for this maneuver is "stooping".) For this problem, you may approximate the strength of the gravitational field as g = 10 N/kg. A. If a hawk is slowly soaring at a height of about 150 meters and spots a vole on the ground, folds its wings and begins its dive, with what speed will it be going when it gets to the ground? It's flight isn't powered: it just falls with an acceleration of ~10 m/s2. (Of course, it has to turn a bit above the ground in order not to crash. We will ignore this part of its flight path.)

Chameleons catch insects with their tongues, which they can rapidly extend to great lengths. in a typical strike, the chameleon's tongue accelerates at a remarkable 220 m/s2 for 20 ms, then travels at constant speed for another 30 ms.
