Answer:
5.0 m/s
Explanation:
The horizontal motion of the salmon is uniform, so the horizontal component of the salmon's velocity is constant and it is
where u is the initial speed and . The horizontal distance travelled by the salmon is
where d = 1.95 m and t is the time needed to reach the final point.
Re-arranging for t,
(1)
Along the vertical direction, the equation of motion is
where:
y = 0.311 m is the final height reached by the salmon
h = 0 is the initial height
is the vertical component of the initial velocity of the salmon
is the acceleration of gravity
t is the time
Substituting t as found in eq.(1), we get the equation
and we can solve this formula for u, the initial speed of the salmon:
Answer:
4.91 x 10⁻⁷ m
Explanation:
the applicable formula is
v = fλ
where
v = velocity (i.e speed) = given as 3.0 x 10⁸ m/s
f = frequency = given asw 6.11 x 10¹⁴
λ = wavelength
if we rearrange the equation and substitute the values given above,
v = fλ
λ = v/f
= 3.0 x 10⁸ / 6.11 x 10¹⁴
= 4.91 x 10⁻⁷ m
