The time and horizontal displacement of a 10 m dive can be calculated using the formula: d = 1/2 * g * t^2, where d is the horizontal displacement, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2), and t is the time in seconds.
Yes, air resistance can have a small effect on the time and horizontal displacement of a 10 m dive. However, at such a short distance, the impact of air resistance is usually negligible and can be ignored in calculations.
The main factors that can affect the time and horizontal displacement of a 10 m dive are the initial velocity of the diver, air resistance, and any external forces acting on the diver (such as wind or current).
The angle of the dive can have a significant impact on the time and horizontal displacement. A higher angle will result in a shorter time and a larger horizontal displacement, while a lower angle will result in a longer time and a smaller horizontal displacement.
No, the time and horizontal displacement alone cannot determine the diver's speed. Additional information, such as the vertical displacement and the angle of the dive, is needed to calculate the diver's speed accurately.
