A Chinook (King) salmon (Genus Oncorynchus) can jump out of water with a speed of 5.55 m/s. If the salmon is in a stream with water speed equal to 1.65 m/s, how high in the air can the fish jump if it leaves the water traveling vertically upwards relative to the Earth?
A rock is thrown off a cliff at an angle of 54° above the horizontal. The cliff is 110 m high. The initial speed of the rock is 20 m/s. (Assume the height of the thrower is negligible.)
