A hawk stoops to attack its prey by pulling in its wings and diving down in the air. If a 1.1 kg red-tailed hawk dives at an angle of 60 degrees below the horizontal and feels a resistive force of 1.3 N directly opposed to its motion, then  a) Draw a free body diagram for the hawk, with +x and +y axes and angles labeled b) What is the magnitude and direction (angle) of the net force? c) What is the magnitude and direction (angle) of the acceleration?
