The mass of a particular eagle is twice that of a hunted pigeon. Suppose the pigeon is flying north at ??,2=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 ?=39.9°below the horizontal and a speed of ??,1=40.5 m/s.   What is the speed of the eagle immediately after it catches its prey? speed:   m/s   What is the magnitude of the angle, measured from horizontal, at which the eagle is flying immediately after the strike? magnitude of angle:   °
