The basketball has the greatest gravitational potential energy at its, highest which is at the very top.
Answer:
28.1 m/s
Explanation:
= Initial velocity of the fish = 1.52 m/s
y = Height of the bird = 40 m
= Acceleration in y axis = 
= Initial velocity in y axis = 0
The final velocity in x direction will remain the same as the initial velocity as there is no acceleration in the x direction 
Resultant velocity is given by
The fish is moving at a velocity of 28.1 m/s when it hits the water.
<span>Since there is no friction, conservation of energy gives change in energy is zero
Change in energy = 0
Change in KE + Change in PE = 0
1/2 x m x (vf^2 - vi^2) + m x g x (hf-hi) = 0
1/2 x (vf^2 - vi^2) + g x (hf-hi) = 0
(vf^2 - vi^2) = 2 x g x (hi - hf)
Since it starts from rest vi = 0
Vf = squareroot of (2 x g x (hi - hf))
For h1, no hf
Vf = squareroot of (2 x g x (hi - hf))
Vf = squareroot of (2 x 9.81 x 30)
Vf = squareroot of 588.6
Vf = 24.26
For h2
Vf = squareroot of (2 x 9.81 x (30 – 12))
Vf = squareroot of (9.81 x 36)
Vf = squareroot of 353.16
Vf = 18.79
For h3
Vf = squareroot of (2 x 9.81 x (30 – 20))
Vf = squareroot of (20 x 9.81)
Vf = 18.79</span>
15 you get 3 Multiply it by 5 and get 15
