An Olympic diver is on a diving platform 5.5 m above the water. To start her dive, she runs off of the platform with a speed of 3 m/s in the horizontal direction. What is the diver's speed just before she enters the water?

Step 1
5 m Using the third equation of motion: v^2 = u^2 + 2as v^2 = (3 m/s)^2 + 2 * 10 m/s^2 * 5.5 m v^2 = 9 m^2/s^2 + 110 m^2/s^2 v^2 = 119 m^2/s^2 v = √119 m/s Show more…

A daring 510 $\mathrm{N}$ swimmer dives off a cliff with a running horizontal leap, as shown in Figure 3.36 . What must her minimum speed be just as she leaves the top of the cliff so that she will miss the ledge at the bottom, which is 1.75 $\mathrm{m}$ wide and 9.00 $\mathrm{m}$ below the top of the cliff?
