An owl is carrying a mouse to the chicks in its nest. The owl is at that time is 4 m west and 12 m above the center of the 35 cm diameter nest, and flying east at 3.6 m/s at an angle 34° below the horizontal when it accidentally drops the mouse.
a.)Calculate the horizontal position of the mouse when it has fallen 12 m, assuming the nest is at the origin of a coordinate system with east being positive.
b.) How far from the east edge of the nest did the mouse fall, in centimeters?
