Question

A bird carrying a fish (5kg) drops it from 107 meters in the air how fast does the fish hit the ground

Answer 1

Answer:

The velocity of the fish hitting the ground is , v = 45.795 m/s        

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass of the fish, m = 5 kg

The height of the bird from the surface, h = 107 m

Using the III equation of motion,

                          v² = u² + 2gs

                          v = √(u² + 2gs)

Substituting the values,

                           v = √(0² + 2 x 9.8 x 107)  

                              = 45.795 m/s

Hence, the velocity of the fish hitting the ground is, v = 45.795 m/s
