 Problem 1 A blue bird and a red bird are initially

Problem 1 A blue bird and a red bird are initially sitting atop two different trees while a hunter (represented by the arrow) is watching them from below. The hunter only has 1 arrow and needs to shoot both birds at the same time. If at time t = 0 both birds take off from the treetops: The first bird has an initial velocity in the xdirection of Vo1x and a constant acceleration in the xdirection of alx and the second bird has an initial velocity in the negative x-direction of v02x and an acceleration in the x-direction. Also, both birds have neither acceleration or initial velocity in the y-direction. Assuming that the speed of the arrow is such that when it is fired it moves in a straight line (i.e. you can neglect gravity) and it will strike both birds simultaneously
