Question

An owl is carrying a mouse to the chicks in its nest. It is 4.00 m west and 10.5 m above the center of the 28 cm diameter nest and is flying east at 3.7 m/s at an angle 33 degrees below the horizontal when it accidentally drops the mouse. Calculate the horizontal position of the mouse when it has fallen 10.5 m, assuming the nest is at the origin of the coordinate system with east being positive. How far from the east edge of the nest did the mouse fall, in cm?

Step 1

Given: Initial horizontal position of the owl, x0 = 4.00 m Horizontal velocity of the owl, vx = 3.7 m/s Time taken before dropping the mouse, t = 3.82 s Use the formula: Horizontal distance = Initial horizontal position + (Horizontal velocity * Time) Horizontal Show more…
