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  ?= 42.7 ° below the horizontal and a speed of  ??,1= 33.3  m/s. What is the speed of the eagle immediately after it catches its prey?         35.7 m/s     42.6 m/s     15.3 m/s     26.4 m/s
