An archer fish spies a meal of a grasshopper sitting on a long stalk of grass at the edge of the pond in which he is swimming. The fish is to successfully spit at and strike the grasshopper, which is 0.200 m away horizontally and 0.745 m above his mouth.
a. What is the minimum speed at which the archer fish must spit? answer in m/s
b. What angle (in degrees) above the horizontal must he spit? answer in degrees
