Question

Suppose a chinook salmon needs to jump a waterfall that is 1.43 m high.

(a) If the fish starts from a distance 1.04 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.
v0x =  m/s
v0y =  m/s

(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
or
No
