Question

Peregrine falcons are known for their maneuvering ability. In a tight circular turn, a falcon can attain a centripetal acceleration 1.5 times the free fall acceleration

what is the radius of the turn if  falcon is flying at 28 m/s

express to two sig figs and include appropriate units

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given value---

  • centripetal acceleration = 1.5 times of free fall acceleration. 
  • v = 28 m/s.

We have to find ---
