thanks :)

the time it took for the diver to hit the water. am i overlooking something. i feel like this was soooo easy, i feel dumb

but what is time? did I do that correctly?

youre a genius :)

i wasnt given a mass...

Homework Statement A diver performs a handstand dive from the 12m tower. Compute the following. A. Time to hit the water B. The divers velocity at 6m C. The divers velocity at impact D. What was the divers mean acceleration acting on the diver Homework Equations d=Vit + 1/2 a t^2...

Horizontal Velocity 1.175 = Vh (.49) + (1/2)(0.0)(.49)^2 <-horizontal is constant therefore a = 0 1.175 = Vh (.49) 2.397 m/s = horizontal velocity vertical displacement = (0.0)(0.245) + (.5)(-9.81)(0.245)^2 dv = 0.294 m Vertical Velocity 0.0^2 = Vi + (2)(-9.81)(.294) 2.40 is the vertical...

messed up. I got 2.40 m/s for the horizontal velocity, and also got 2.40 m/s for the vertical velocity. then I took A^2 + B^2 = C^2 to get resultant velocity. can't remember what i wrote on my paper, 3.39 m/s maybe? from there I did sin-1(2.40/resultant) and got 45 degrees all from memory

Homework Statement For my class we did a mini-lab that asked us to stand still and long jump. Kind of confused about how to solve because our teacher is horrible. I am supposed to calculate the vertical velocity at take off (which I thought was 0m/s but someone told me it's at the peak of the...
