How far horizontally d can a Chinook salmon travel through the air if it leaves the water with an initial angle of θ 300° with respect to the horizontal? (Let the horizontal direction the fish travels be in the +x direction, and let the upward vertical direction be the +y direction. Neglect any effects due to air resistance.) MacBook Pro ad 5 6 8 0

Answer 1

Given data Velocity (v) = 6.80 m/s theta = 30 degree Therefore distance travelled (d) = v^2 sin 2 theta/9 = (6.80)^2 times sin 2 times 30 degree/9.81 d = 4.08206 m
