The object is not accelerating. I think I got this question right
Are there any answer choices?
Submarines use <span>buoyancy by filling ballast tanks up with water. When they are filled with water, they are more dense than the surrounding water, so they are able to sink. If they want to rise, they fill these tanks up with air so that the density is less than the water it surrounds.
Hope this helps! :)</span>
Answer:
The vertical distance that the ski jumper fell is 417.45 m.
Explanation:
Given;
initial horizontal velocity of the jumper,
= 26 m/s
horizontal distance of the jumper, dx = 240 m
The time of the motion is given by;
dx = Vₓt
t = dx / Vₓ
t = 240 / 26
t = 9.23 s
The vertical distance traveled by the diver is given by;

initial vertical velocity,
, = 0

Therefore, the vertical distance that the ski jumper fell is 417.45 m.
It's inertia. A rule that you see every day, for example a brick will stay in the same spot unless a force acts on it.
