Answer:
6.52m
Explanation:
The horizontal distance travelled is known as its range. This is expressed as;
Range = u* √2H/g
u is the speed of the pelican
H is the maximum height
g is the acceleration due to gravity
Range = 8.79*√2(2.7)/9.8
Range = 8.79 * √5.4/9.8
range = 8.79*√0.5510
Range = 8.79*0.7423
Range = 6.52
Hence the fish will travel 6.52m before hitting the water below
