The mass of a particular eagle is twice that of a hunted
pigeon. Suppose the pigeon is flying north at Vi2 = 16.1 m/s
when the eagle swoops down, grabs the pigeon, and flies off.
At the instant right before the attack, the eagle is flying
toward the pigeon at an angle 0 = 64.3° below the horizontal
and a speed of Vi,1
= 37.9 m/s.
What is the speed of of the eagle immediately after it catches
its prey?
