A mischievous caracara sees a fisherman unscrew a shiny steel nut from a bolt on his ship while doing repairs in a harbor off the Falkland Islands. The fisherman watches helplessly as the bird picks up the nut and flies toward the shore. The bird flies due east at a constant speed of 5m/s and constant height of 11m . The bird flies directly over a person on the shoreline, dropping the nut at the instant they are above the person. Prepare: Once the nut has been released, in which directions does the acceleration vector have components along?
