Question

Suppose a chinook salmon needs to jump a waterfall that is 1.46 m high.
(a) If the fish starts from a distance 1.21 m from the base of the ledge over which the waterfall flows, find the x- and y-components of the initial velocity the salmon would need
to just reach the ledge at the top of its trajectory.

(b) Can the fish make this jump? (Note that a chinook salmon can jump out of the water with a speed of 6.26 m/s.)
Ⓒ Yes
No

Expert Solution

Step 1

The final velocity will be zero when the Chinook salmon reaches the ledge.

Apply the third kinematic equation in the vertical motion and substitute the required values to determine the y-component of the initial velocity.
