The peregrine falcon is the fastest bird, flying at a speed of 200mi/h. Nature has adapted the bird to reach such a speed by placingbaffles in its nose to prevent air from rushing in and slowing itdown. Also, the bird's eyes adjust their focus faster than the eyesof any other creature, so the falcon can focus quickly on its prey.Assume that a peregrine falcon is moving horizontally at its topspeed at a height of 100 m above the ground when it brings itswings into its sides and begins to drop in free fall. How far willthe bird fall vertically while traveling horizontally a distance of100 m?
