  • An eagle stoops to attack its prey by pulling in its wings and diving down in the air. It a 4.5 kg eagle dives at an angle of 52 degrees below the horizontal and feels a resistive force of 15 N directly opposed to its motion, then:
  •  -Draw a free body diagram for the eagle, with +x and +y-axes and angles labeled .
  • - What is the magnitude and direction (angle) of the net force?
  • ~ What is the magnitude and direction (angle) of the acceleration?
