supposed the Kingfisher Dives with an average speed of 4.6 m / s for 1.4 seconds before hitting the water. What is the height from which the bird dove

h = 1.07 m

Explanation:

It is given that,

The average sped of the kingfisher, v = 4.6 m/s

Time, t = 1.4 s

Final speed, v = 0 (as it hits the water)

We need to find the height from which the bird dove. Let the height is h. According to the conservation of energy.

So, the bird dove from a height of 1.07 m.

see the picture for the vector

the magnitude of the vector by pythagorean theorem

r = √( (-10)^2 + (3)^2 ) = √109

magnitude = √109 units

the direction angle between vector and x-axis is

tan^(-1)(3/10) = 16.699

so the direction is approximately 16.7 degrees north of west
