A daring 510-N swimmer dives off a cliff with a running horizontal leap. What must her minimum speed be just as she leaves the t

op of the cliff so that she will miss the ledge at the bottom, which is 1.75 m wide and 9.00 m below the top of the cliff?

Answer:

v_x = 1.26 m/s

Explanation:

given,

weight of swimmer = 510 N

length of ledge, L = 1.75 m

vertical height of the cliff, h =  9 m

speed of the swimmer = ?

horizontal velocity  of the swimmer should be that much it can cross the wedge.

distance = speed x time

d = v_x × t

1.75 = v_x × t ........(1)

now,time taken by the swimmer to cover 9 m

initial vertical velocity of the swimmer is zero.

using equation of motion for time calculation

s = ut +\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

9= 0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times t^2

  t² = 1.938

  t = 1.39 s

same time will be taken to cover horizontal distance.

now, from equation 1

1.75 = v_x × 1.39

v_x = 1.26 m/s

horizontal speed of the swimmer is equal to 1.26 m/s
