a.
To calculate: The time for which the fish has to swim away.
a.
Answer to Problem 67E
The required time for which the fish has to swim away is 0.97 seconds.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The initial height,
The initial vertical velocity,
Formula used:
Calculation:
The initial height is
The initial vertical velocity is
To find the required time, use the equation
Substitute
To solve the above equation for t , use the formula
Solve for t .
Now,
And,
But time cannot be negative.
Hence, the required time for which the fish has to swim away is 0.97 seconds.
b.
To determine: The bird which will reach the fish first.
b.
Answer to Problem 67E
