A person jumps upward off a diving board at 6.0 m/s and hits the water 2.0 seconds later (including the up and down time). About how fast will she be going just before she hits the water?

Expert Solution

Initial vertical velocity,

Total time of flight,

--------

First, find the time taken to reach the maximum height above the diving board

Consider the vertical motion of the person

At the max height, vertical velocity becomes zero.

Use formula

The person is going up and g is acting downwards, so put a negative sign for g.

==================

Time to hit water after falling from max height = Total time of flight - Time to reach max height

==================

Consider the vertical motion of the person

Use formula

The person is going down and g is acting downwards, so g is positive.

A 180-lb person jumps out of an airplane with initial upward velocity of 5 ft/s at a height of 3000 ft (assuming the air resistance is proportional to its falling speed). The air resists the body's motion with a force of 2 lb for each ft/s of speed. Assuming the constant gravity is 32 ft/s^2 (1) find its velocity v = v(t) (2) find its terminal velocity (3) find the distance of falling x = x(t) (4) find the duration...

1) You can jump 3 m (10 feet) off of a diving board and into a swimming pool and be uninjured. However, if you jumped from the same height onto concrete it would be very bad. Use the principles of impulse and momentum to explain this. 2) A 125 kg linebacker running to the right at 2.5 m/s and an 80 kg quarterback running to the left at 3 m/s collide in midair.

A 60.0 kg person running at an initial speed of 4.50 m/s jumps onto a 120 kg cart that is initially at rest. The person slides on the cart's top surface and finally comes to rest relative to the cart. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the person and the cart is 0.320. Friction between the cart and the ground can be neglected. a.Find the final speed of the person and cart relative to the ground. b.For how long does...

Chapter 03, Problem 15 A skateboarder shoots off a ramp with a velocity of 6.0 m/s, directed at an angle of 52° above the horizontal. The end of the ramp is 1.4 m above the ground. Let the x axis be parallel to the ground, the +y direction be vertically upward, and take as the origin the point on the ground directly below the top of the ramp. (a) How high above the ground is the highest point that the...
