Momentum Exention- Because of your interest in the environment and your physics experience, you have been asked by the Campus Museum of Natural History to assist in the production of an animated film about hawks. In the script, a 1.5-kg hawk hovers motionless with respect to the ground when it sees a goose flying below it. The hawk dives straight down. It strikes the goose at a speed of 60 km/hr and digs its claws into the goose's body. The 2.5 kg goose was flying north at 30 km/hr just before it was struck by the hawk and killed instantly. The animators want to know the velocity of the hawk and dead goose just after the strike.
