It doesn't! This is a projectile motion problem and all projectiles have the same acceleration, independent of mass.dregozo said:
Sure, why not? That's one good reason to include it -- to see how confident you are with the basics.dregozo said:

A horizontally projected diver is a type of diving movement where the diver propels themselves horizontally off a platform or springboard, as opposed to vertically. It is commonly seen in competitive diving events.
A horizontally projected diver differs from a traditional dive in the direction of movement. In a traditional dive, the diver jumps vertically off the platform and enters the water in a vertical position. In a horizontally projected dive, the diver jumps horizontally and enters the water in a horizontal position.
The key techniques for a successful horizontally projected dive include a strong push off the platform, a tight and compact body position, and controlled arm movements to maintain balance and direction. It also requires proper timing and coordination to enter the water at the correct angle.
Common mistakes made by divers when attempting a horizontally projected dive include not having enough speed or height, losing balance and direction during the dive, and entering the water at the wrong angle. It also requires a lot of practice and precision to execute a successful horizontally projected dive.
It is subjective whether a horizontally projected dive is more difficult than a traditional dive. It requires different techniques and skills, so some divers may find it more challenging while others may find it easier. Ultimately, it depends on the individual's abilities and strengths.
