There is a fish called an archer fish that shoots drops of water at insects resting on branches above the water. if the archer fish is aiming at an insect with (x, y) coordinates of (0.5,0.25) and spits water at an angle of 40 degress relative to the surface of the water. at what speed v should an archerfish spit the water to shoot down a floating insect located at that distance?

=3.5 m/s

Explanation:

y = x tanθ - 1/2 g x² / (u²cos²θ )

y = 0.25 , x = 0.5, θ = 40°

.25 = .50 tan40 - .5 x 9.8x x²/ u²cos²40

.25 = .42 - 2.0875/u²

u = 3.5 m / s.

with 5 seconds, no, but over time if the police car stays at 65m/s ad the speeding car stays at 60, then obviously yes, but the answer to your question would be, no.

hope this : )

force tends to be low and long diustance masses are high
