AI Thread Summary
To determine the minimum constant acceleration required for a diver stepping off a 7.5m platform above a 4.97m deep pool to avoid hitting the bottom, one must consider the diver's free fall and subsequent deceleration in the water. The diver will fall 7.5m before reaching the water's surface, and then must decelerate sufficiently to stop before reaching the pool's bottom. The calculations involve kinematic equations to find the necessary acceleration. It is important to follow the proper submission guidelines for homework-related questions on forums. Properly framing the problem can lead to more effective assistance.

A diver steps off a platform at 7.5m above a 4.97 deep pool what is the minimum constant acceleration in the water so the diver won't hit the bottom

Hi Sin0. Welcome to Physics Forums.

This sounds like a homework problem. If it is, you have submitted it to the wrong section. You need to submit it to the Homework section, and to conform to the template provided, which includes what effort you have made so far to attack the problem.

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
