The mass of a particular eagle is twice that of a hunted pigeon. Suppose the pigeon is flying north at ??,2=18.1vi,2=18.1 m/s when the eagle swoops down, grabs the pigeon and flies off. At the instant right before the attack, the eagle is flying toward the pigeon at an angle ?=40.3θ=40.3° below the horizontal and a speed of ??,1=37.9vi,1=37.9 m/s.
What is the speed of the eagle immediately after it catches its prey?
What is the magnitude of the angle, measured from horizontal, at which the eagle is flying immediately after the strike?

A block is placed on a frictionless ramp at a height of 12.5 m above the ground. Starting from rest, the block slides down the ramp. At the bottom of the ramp, the block slides onto a frictionless horizontal track without slowing down. At the end of the horizontal track, the block slides smoothly onto a second frictionless ramp. How far along the second ramp does the block travel before coming to a momentary stop, as measured along the incline of the ramp? After the block comes to a complete stop on the second ramp, it will then begin moving back down the second ramp. What is the speed of the block when it is 8.75 m, vertically, above the ground?

A pen contains a spring with a spring constant of 208 N/m. When the tip of the pen is in its retracted position, the spring is compressed 5.60 mm from its unstrained length. In order to push the tip out and lock it into its writing position, the spring must be compressed an additional 6.90 mm. How much work is done by the spring force to ready the pen for writing? Be sure to include the proper algebraic sign with your answer.
