Here we go.
My abbreviations; KE = Kinetic Energy; GPE = Gravitational Potential Energy.
So first off, we know the fish has KE right when the bird releases it. Why? Because it has horizontal velocity after released! So let’s calculate it:
KE = 1/2(m)(V)^2
KE = 1/2(2)(18)^2
KE = 324 J
Nice!
We also know that the fish has GPE at its maximum height before release:
GPE = mgh
GPE = (2)(9.81)(5.40)
GPE = 105.95 J
Now, based on the *queue dramatic voice* LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY, we know all of the initial energy of the fish will be equal to the amount of final energy. And since the only form of energy when it hits the water is KE, we can write:
KEi + GPEi = KEf
(Remember - we found the initial energies before!)
(324) + (105.95) = KEf
KEf = 429.95J
And that’s you’re final answer! Notice how this value is MORE than the initial KE from before (324 J) - this is because all of the initial GPE from before was transformed into more KE as the fish fell (h decreased) and sped up (V increased).

The the drift velocity of the electrons is determined by atom vibrations in the crystal lattice.
<h3>How to explain the information?</h3>
Assume we could increase the average time between collisions in a typical metal to get to a limit of zero resistance. The free electrons would therefore be continuously accelerated by a constant applied voltage, according to the classical paradigm of conduction. Both the current and the drift speed would gradually pick up over time.
Although it is not the scenario implied by the question, it is possible to switch to zero resistance by using a superconducting wire instead of the usual metal. In this scenario, the maximum current is constrained, the drift velocity of the electrons is determined by atom vibrations in the crystal lattice, and it is difficult to produce a potential difference across the superconductor.
