Suppose the pigeon is flying north at vi2 18.1 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 50.3° below the horizontal and a speed of vi,1 32.1 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:arrow_forwardSquids are the fastest marine invertebrates, using a powerful set of muscles to take in and then eject water in a form of jet propulsion that can propel them to speeds of over 11.5 m/s.
