Question
A swimmer bounces almost straight up from a diving board and falls vertically feet first into a pool. She starts with a speed of 3.2 m/s, and her takeoff point is 1.85 m above the pool's surface.
For how long are her feet in the air, in seconds?
What is the height above the board, in meters, of her highest point?
What is her velocity, in meters per second, when her feet hit the water? Assume the vertical component of the velocity is positive upwards.

- There are competitions in which pilots fly small planes low over the ground and drop weights, trying to hit a target. A pilot flying low and slow drops a weight; it takes 2.0s to hit the ground, during which it travels a horizontal distance of 100 m. Now the pilot does a run at the same height but twice the speed. How much time does it take the weight to hit the ground? How far does it travel before it lands?arrow_forwardA projectile is shot perfectly horizontally with a speed of 7.02 m/s, and a height of 6.14 m. How far off the ground will it be after 0.459 s?
