Question

Salmon, swimming up the Fraser river to their spawninggrounds, leap over all sorts of obstacles. The unofficialsalmon-altitude record is an amazing 3.40 m jump. Assuming the fishtook off at 45.0°, what was its speed on emerging from thewater? Ignore friction.

Explanation / Answer

vy^2 = voy^2+ 2*a*y vy = final velocity = 0 at the height ofhis jump voy = initial y velocity = unknown a = acceleration = gravity = -9.8 m/s^2 y = 3.40m 0 = voy^2 + 2*(-9.8 m/s^2)*3.40m subtract voy^2 from both sides, andsimplify: -voy^2 = -66.64 m^2/s^2 multiply by -1 and take the square root of bothsides voy = 8.16 m/s then to get vo we divide by cos 45degrees vo = 11.54 ms
