How quickly must a diver accelerate (assuming he/she started at 0 m/s) to reach a velocity of 5.0 m/s at the end of a 5.5 m approach on a platform?
Added by Daniel J.
Step 1
- Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s (the diver starts from rest) - Final velocity (v) = 5.0 m/s - Distance (s) = 5.5 m Show more…

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?
