Thank you so much! You have quite possibly saved my Physics grade. I understand this now!

Okay, thank you so much! I now understand what I need to do for part a, but I still don't quite get part b...can you help me with that too?

Oh! Could I use d=1/2at² to calculate time?

Okay, that makes sense, but I don't have a time.

Yes, 9.8m/s²

The force of gravity is acting on the diver, and wouldn't that increase his speed?

Homework Statement A 65kg swimmer jumps of a 10m tower. a) Find the swimmer's velocity when hitting the water b) The swimmer comes to a stop 2.0m below the surface. Find the net force exerted by the water. Homework Equations F=ma? I don't know the rest, which is part of the problem...

Thanks so much guys! I checked with my teacher and it was indeed 1 degree. I just didn't think that would make any sense, so I asked you guys. Thank you!

A pilot flying his plane... Homework Statement A pilot is flying his plane 48.5 km/hr northward. He has forgotten to factor in a light wind from the east, going 0.85 km/hr. At what angle should he head his plane to factor in the wind? Homework Equations I don't know :( The Attempt...

Thank you so much Galadirith! I really appreciate your answer, and you've managed to explain it all quite clearly. I actually understand it now :D

Homework Statement Both Concords are going 40 000 km. The British Concorde spends half its DISTANCE at 2500 km/hr, and the other half at 1000 km/hr. The French Concorde spends half it's TIME at 2500 km/hr, and the other half at 1000 km/ hr. Which one arrived at their destination first...
