Steelhead trout migrate up stream to spawn. occasionally they need to leap up small waterfalls to continue their journey. fortunately, steelhead are remarkable jumpers, capable of leaving the water at a speed of 8.0 m/s. a. what is the maximum height a steelhead trout can jump? b. leaving the water at 8.0 m/s, the trout lands on top of the water fall 1.8 m high. how long was it in the air?

Part a)

since steelhead jump under the influence of gravity

So we will use kinematic equations

here at the maximum position we know that final speed will be zero

now we will have

so the maximum height that it can reach will be 3.26 m

Part B)

now if it reaches to height 1.8 m with initial speed 8 m/s

so here we will have

the answer is a. the yacht traveled from the dock north to the 200-meter marker in the bay in less than 5 minutes, giving the passengers several more hours to fish.

im doing peak rn so sry if its wrong

massxgravity x heght=weightxheight= pe

4900=490xh

h=10
