Suppose a Chinook salmon needs to jump a waterfall that is 1.45 m high. If the fish starts from a distance 1.12 m from the base of the ledge over which the waterfall flows, find the x- and y-components of the initial velocity the salmon would need to just reach the ledge at the top of its trajectory. Vox = m/s Voy = m/s Can the fish make this jump? (Remember that a Chinook salmon can jump out of the water with a speed of 6.26 m/s.) O Yes O No
