A seagull flying horizontally over the ocean at a constant speed of 2.60 m/s carries a small fish in its mouth. It accidentally lets go of the fish, and 2.50 s after the bird lets go, the fish lands in the ocean. (a) Just before reaching the ocean, what is the horizontal component of the fish's velocity in m/s

Horizontal Component of Fish's Velocity = 2.6 m/s

Explanation:

In this scenario, we will neglect the effects of the air resistance on the small fish. Since there is no resisting force available in the horizontal direction. Therefore, the horizontal component of the velocity of the fish will remain equal to the horizontal component of the velocity of the seagull and it will remain the same throughout the whole motion.

Horizontal Component of Fish's Velocity = Constant Horizontal Speed of Seagull

Horizontal Component of Fish's Velocity = 2.6 m/s
