A chinook salmon has a maximum underwater speed of 3.58 m/s, but it can jump out of water with a speed of 6.26 m/s. To moveupstream past a waterfall, the salmon does not need to jump to the top of the fall, but only to a point in the fall where the waterspeed is less than 3.58 m/s; it can then swim up the fall for the remaining distance. Because the salmon must make forwardprogress in the water, let's assume it can swim to the top if the water speed is 3.00 m/s.(a) If water has a speed of 1.05 m/s as it passes over a ledge, how far below the ledge will the water be moving with aspeed of 3.00 m/s? (Note that water undergoes projectile motion once it leaves the ledge. The water's velocity is initiallyhorizontal as it passes over the ledge. Enter the magnitude of the distance only.)(b) If the salmon is able to jump vertically upward from the base of the fall, what is the maximum height of waterfall thatthe salmon can clear?

Standing on the edge of a cliff that is 800 m above the ground. You take a stone and throw it straight up imparting the stone with an initial velocity of 8.30 m/s (UP). What is the velocity of the stone 10 seconds after you throw it up? Air resistance doesn't have an effect
If a stone is dropped from the top of a tower with initial release velocity equal to zero, it falls a distance d in time t given by d = ½ gt2 where g is acceleration due to gravity (g = 9.8 m/s2). Its speed v at time t is given by v = gt. Suppose you go to the top of a tower and drop a stone. It hits the ground after 4.5 seconds. By how much does it drop in 1 second? How much is its displacement between 1 s and 2 s? What is the height of the tower? Drop = 14.7 m, Displacement = 4.9 m, Height = 19.6 m Drop = 4.9 m, Displacement = 14.7 m, Height = 99 m Drop = 4.9 m, Displacement = 14.7 m, Height = 19.6 m
