Answer:
4.0 m/s
Explanation:
The motion of the diver is the motion of a projectile: so we need to find the horizontal and the vertical component of the initial velocity.
Let's consider the horizontal motion first. This motion occurs with constant speed, so the distance covered in a time t is
where here we have
d = 3.0 m is the horizontal distance covered
vx is the horizontal velocity
t = 1.3 s is the duration of the fall
Solving for vx,
Now let's consider the vertical motion: this is an accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground. The vertical position at time t is given by
where
h = 4.0 m is the initial height
vy is the initial vertical velocity
We know that at t = 1.3 s, the vertical position is zero: y = 0. Substituting these numbers, we can find vy
So now we can find the magnitude of the initial velocity:
Answer:
7.5 km/h (2.1 m/s) due east
Explanation:
The average velocity of the person is given by:
where
d is the displacement
t is the time taken
In this problem,
d = 15 km is the displacement
t = 2.0 h is the time elapsed
so the average velocity is
and the direction is the same as the displacement (east).
We can also convert the velocity into SI units (m/s). We have:
d = 15 km = 15,000 m
t = 2.0 h * 3600 s/h = 7200 s
