Now assume that the stream flows east at 4.0 m/s. draw the vectors v⃗ w, representing the velocity of the stream, and v⃗ tot, re
presenting the velocity of your rowboat relative to the stream bank. be sure to draw both vectors. draw v⃗ tot and v⃗ w starting at the tail and tip of v⃗ still respectively. the location, orientation and length of the vectors will be graded. each vector's length is displayed in meters per second.

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:
