Concept explainers
To Calculate: Minimum push-off speed necessary to clear the rocks. Also, time for which the divers are in the air.
Answer to Problem 63GP
Minimum push off speed necessary to clear the rocks is 1.87 m/s.
Time for which the diver is in the air is 2.67 s.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Height = 35 m
Distance between rocky outcrops and base =
Formula used:
The following
Where,
Where,
Calculation:
Time taken is calculated as:
Therefore, time for which the diver is in the air is 2.67 seconds.
Velocity is calculated as:
Therefore, minimum push off speed necessary to clear the rocks is 1.87 m/s.
Conclusion:
Minimum push off speed necessary to clear the rocks is 1.87 m/s. Time for which the diver is in the air is 2.67 s
