Question

Ex 11 ) A salmon jumps vertically out of the water at an initial velocity of 6 m/s. What is

the height it will jump?​

Answer 1

1.84m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity = 6m/s

Unknown:

height of jump = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we have to apply the right motion equation:

V² = U² - 2gH

V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

H is the height

Final velocity is 0

Solve;

0² = 6² - 2x9.8xH

-36 = -19.6H

H = 1.84m
