10PRACTICE PROBLEM
A bird that can withstand an acceleration of 11g sees its prey during flight. It dives vertically down to catch it at a constant speed of 350 m/s. At what height above the ground the bird must begin to pull out (following a vertical circular trajectory) to avoid blacking out and crashing into the ground.
