2. An angry bird was launched froma sling shot at an initial velocity of 30 m/s, 35° above the horizontal, to directly hit a green pig that stands halfway a 16-m high castle, some distance to the right of the slingshot. (a) How long would it take for the angry bird to directly collide with the green pig? (b) How far is the castle from the slingshot? (c) What is the velocity of the angry bird as soon as it hits the pig? (d) Has the angry bird passes the highest point on its trajectory before hitting the green pig? Justify your answer.
