A 0.90−kg falcon is diving at 28.0 m/s at a downward angle of 35∘. It catches a 0.325−kg pigeon from behind in midair. What is their combined velocity after impact if the pigeor's initial velocity was 7.00 m/s directed horizontally? Note that v^1,i is a unit vector pointing in the direction in which the falcon is initially flying.

  1. A 0.90 k g falcon is diving at 28.0 m / s at a downward angle of 35 . It catches a 0.325 k g pigeon from behind in midair. What is their combined velocity after impact if the pigeor's initial velocity was 7.00 m / s directed horizontally? Note that v ^ 1 , i is a unit vector pointing in the direction in which the falcon is initially flying.
