180 pounds (lb) converts to 81.647 kilograms (kg).
<h2>Thus the force of friction is 235 N</h2>
Explanation:
When the bear was at the height of 14 m . Its potential energy = m g h
here m is the mass of bear , g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height .
Thus P.E = 27 x 10 x 14 = 3780 J
The K.E of the bear just before hitting = 
m v²
= x 27 x ( 6.1 )² = 490 J
The force of friction f = P.E - K.E = 3290 J
Because the work done = Force x Distance
Thus frictional force = 
= 235 N
The leaf fell at the crooked path instead of straight down because air currents and gravity applied changing and unbalanced forces to the leaf.
<h3>What is an air current?</h3>
An air current is defined as the changes in atmospheric pressure that causes the movement of air from one area to another.
When a leaf is detached naturally from the tree, it won't fall straight down to the floor but will fall a distance away from the tree due to the action of air current and some unbalanced forces.
