Some salmon are able to jump a distance L out of the water while only swimming a distance L/4 between jumps. By what percentage are these salmon faster than those requiring an underwater swim of distance L? (Assume the salmon jumps out of the water with velocity 6.03 m/s at 40.6° above the horizontal, re-enters the water a distance L upstream, and then swims a distance L/4 underwater in a straight, horizontal line with velocity 2.92 m/s before jumping out again.)
