Question

Transcribed Image Text:Constants
Part A
Pelicans tuck their wings and free-fall straight down
when diving for fish. Suppose a pelican starts its dive
from a height of 20.0 m and cannot change its path
once committed
If it takes a fish 0.25 s to perform evasive action, at what minimum height must it spot the pelican to escape? Assume the fish is at the
surface of the water.
Express your answer using two significant figures.
