A 4 kg squirrel is launched from a cannon 7m above sea level and is fired at a 45 degree angle from the ground, launching the squirrel at 150 m/s. At the squirrel's peak height, an eagle snatches the squirrel and takes a leave of 303 degrees. Assume that the additional weight of the squirrel cuts the air speed velocity of the eagle by 75%. After flying for two minutes, the squirrel drops an acorn. A wing with a heading of 155 degrees accelerates the acorn at 7 m/s^2. Where does the acorn land? Assume that: 1. The squirrel reaches an instant velocity upon firing the canon. 2. Gravitational acceleration is 10m/s^2. 3. Air resistance is negligible. 4. The eagle experiences no knockback and cancels out the squirrel's velocity. 5. The air speed velocity of the eagle is 12 m/s. 6. The acorn sat around so long that it is now deep underground.
