1. A little boy carrying a slingshot saw a bird flying midair and wished to shoot it with an initial velocity vo inclined at angle 0 to the horizontal. Assume the bird stayed on the same spot when the stone reached the bird, and at the highest elevation of the projectile. If the p, of the stone's trajectory at the initial position (point A) is 171.448m, and the pa of the bird's trajectory is 100m, determine the v. and 0. Neglect air resistance.
