To Mr. H's disgust, a 450-g black crow is raiding the recently-filled bird feeder. As Mr. H runs out the back door with his broo

m in an effort to scare the crow away, it pushes off the 670-gram feeder with a takeoff speed of 1.5 m/s. Determine the speed at which the feeder initially recoils backwards.

Answer:

Actually it's 2.50 m/s, sorry

Explanation:

It is solved by using momentum conservation equation

combined mass of crow and feeder = 450+670=1120 gm

let the recoil speed of feeder be v m/s

Then applying momentum conservation we get;

1120×1.5 = 670×v

v= 2.50 m/s

the speed at which the feeder initially recoils backwards = 2.50 m/s
