A seagull flying horizontally over the ocean at a constant speed of 3.05 m/s carries a small fish in its mouth. It accidentally lets go of the fish, and 1.85 s after the bird lets go, the fish lands in the ocean. (a) Just before reaching the ocean, what is the horizontal component of the fish's velocity in m/s? Ignore air resistance. Assume the bird is initially traveling in the positive x direction. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) m/s (b) Just before reaching the ocean, what is the vertical component of the fish's velocity in m/s? Ignore air resistance. Assume upward is the positive y direction and downward is the negative y direction. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) m/s (c) If the seagull's initial speed were increased, which of the following regarding the fish's velocity upon reaching the ocean would be true? (Select all that apply.) O The horizontal component of the fish's velocity would increase. O The horizontal component of the fish's velocity would decrease. O The horizontal component of the fish's velocity would stay the same.
