A bird is flying with a speed of 18.0 m/s over water when it accidentally drops a 2.00 kg fish. if the altitude of the bird is 5.40 m and friction is disregarded, what is thw speed of the fish when it hits the water?
You can use the conservation of energy to solve this problem. PE=KE pe=ke mgh=(1\2)mv^2 cancel out the m gh=(1\2)v^2 2gh=v^2 √(2gh)=v √(29.815.40)=V V=10.2931 m/s Hope that helps. :)
