Question
A peregrine falcon can dive at a speed of 325 kph . If you were to drop a stone, how high up would you have to be so that the stone reached the same speed in its fall?
Step 1
1 kilometer = 1000 meters and 1 hour = 3600 seconds. So, 325 kph = 325 * (1000 m / 1 km) / (3600 s / 1 hr) = 90.28 m/s. Show more…

4. A peregrine falcon has a mass of 2.2 kg and is hovering 120 m above the ground. It dives and strikes a pigeon that is 20 m above the ground. How fast was the falcon going when it struck the pigeon?
A 480 g peregrine falcon reaches a speed of 69 m/s in a vertical dive called a stoop. If we assume that the falcon speeds up under the influence of gravity only, what is the minimum height of the dive needed to achieve this speed?
A peregrine falcon sttops for 305m. Assuming a constant acceleration of 9.8 m/s2, find its speed at the end of the stoop
