Angry Birds on a physics exam


Just when you thought Angry Birds had invaded everything known to man, our fine feathered friends are now being slung around in your physics exam. Believe it or not, this is actually quite real.

Well if the initial vertical velocity is 13.05 m/s then it will be up 2m after 2.5 seconds. The horizontal component is obviously 22 m/s, so the launch angle is:  atan(13.05/22) or 30.68 degrees ... Nevermind!  Back to the game!
