Answer:
s = 3.26 m
Explanation:
Given that,
Water leaves at a speed of 8 m/s
We need to find the maximum height that steelhead can jump. Let it can jump to a height of h.
At maximum height, final speed is equal to 0. We can use third equation of motion to find the maximum height.
[tex]v^2-u^2=2as[/tex]
a = -g
[tex]-u^2=-2gs\\\\s=\dfrac{u^2}{2g}\\\\s=\dfrac{(8)^2}{2\times 9.8}\\\\=3.26\ m[/tex]
Hence, the maximum height is 3.26 m.
