Salmon often jump waterfalls to reach their breeding grounds starting downstream, 2.9 meters away from a waterfall .436 meters in height, at what minimum speed must a salmon jumping at an angle of 44.7 degrees leave the water to continue upstream?
the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s^2

im guessing the west of station b

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft

b. false

explanation:

suppose a rock in free fall is dropped off a cliff. after falling for 5 seconds, its speed would not be 100 m/s.
