Find what was the ravens speed right after the collision

Reference no: EM13652127

To protect their young in the nest, peregrine falcons will fly into birds of prey (such as ravens) as highspeed. In one such episode,a 600-g falcon flying at 20.m/s hit a 1.50-kg raven flying at 9.0 m/s. The falconhit the the raven at right angles to its original path and bounced back at 5.0m/s. (These pictures were estimated by the author as he watched this attack occur in northern New mexico)

a) By what angle did the falcon change the raven's direction of motion?

b) What was the raven's speed right after the collision?
