Explain why fish survive under water when the surface is already frozen​

ice is a poor conductor of heat and less dense than water. During winter, ice floats and insulates the water under it. Below the frozen layer, the water remains in its liquid state and does not freeze. Also, oxygen is trapped beneath the layer of ice. This makes it possible for aquatic animals to survive during winter.

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft

490 n

f=125n a=2.5m/s2
