Question
Please use the information in the picture to answer the question: How fast must it have leapt from the water to reach a such a great height and speed. If you stand at the bow where you can reach up to a height of 3m above the water. You can only catch a fish if it is traveling under 8.5m/s when it reaches you. Will you be able to catch the fish? Find the speed of the fish at your location. Hint: use energy conservation.
