Answer:
Horizontal Component of Fish's Velocity = 2.6 m/s
Explanation:
In this scenario, we will neglect the effects of the air resistance on the small fish. Since there is no resisting force available in the horizontal direction. Therefore, the horizontal component of the velocity of the fish will remain equal to the horizontal component of the velocity of the seagull and it will remain the same throughout the whole motion.
Horizontal Component of Fish's Velocity = Constant Horizontal Speed of Seagull
Horizontal Component of Fish's Velocity = 2.6 m/s
