Peregrine falcons are the fastest animals on Earth, with a maximum dive speed of 389 km/h. They also like to nest on top of buildings.

Assuming they could accelerate to their top speed instantly, how many seconds would it take for a falcon nested on top of the burj khalifa (830 metres tall) to reach the ground?

Give your answer to two decimal places.

(a)  

Peregrine falcons are the fastest animals on Earth, with a maximum dive speed of 389 km/h. They also like to nest on buildings.

Assuming they could accelerate to their top speed instantly, if a falcon had nested on the

burj khalifa and took 6.5 seconds to reach the ground, how high up had the falcon nested?

Give your answer to 1 decimal place.

(a)  

Peregrine falcons are the fastest animals on Earth. They also like to nest on buildings.

Assuming they could accelerate to their top speed instantly, if a falcon had nested on top of the

burj khalifa (830 metres above ground) it and took 7.68 seconds to reach the ground, determine the falcons top speed.

If light travels at a speed of 3x10⁸ ms^-1, and the circumference of the Earth is 40,075 km, calculate the time it takes light to travel once around the Earth.

Give your answer to two decimal places.

(a)  

If light travels at a speed of 3x10⁸ ms^-1, and the circumference of the Earth is 40,075 km, how many complete trips around the Earth could light make in one second?

(a)  

The circumference of the Earth is 40,075 km. If light could travel around the planet 462 times in one minute, calculate the speed of light.
