An eagle is flying horizontally at a speed of 4.8 m/s when the fish in her talons wiggles loose and falls into the lake 7 m below. Calculate the speed of the fish relative to the water when it hits the water.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Given that initially, the eagle holding the fish is flying horizontally at 4.8m/s

So the fish will have an initial horizontal velocity the same as the eagle when it gets loose.

Initial horizontal velocity of fish,

Initial vertical velocity of fish,

Initial height of the fish,

--------

Consider the vertical motion of the fish.

Use formula

--------------

Consider the horizontal motion of the fish

There is no acceleration in the horizontal direction, so horizontal velocity remains the same.

-------

Final velocity,
