Question

When striking, the pike, a predatory fish, can accelerate from rest to a speed of 4.2m/s in 0.15s . How far did it move during the strike?

Answer 1

we can solve this by a simple multiplication

The fish can get within 4.2 m in 1 second

so in 0.15 , the distance would be :


1/4.2 x 1/0.15

= 1.587 m
