A swimmer bounces almost straight up from a diving board and falls vertically feet first into a pool.she starts with a speed of

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

a) 1.20227 seconds

b) 0.98674 m

c) 7.3942875 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 4.4 m/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=4.4-9.81\times t\\\Rightarrow \frac{-4.4}{-9.81}=t\\\Rightarrow t=0.44852\ s$

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=4.4\times 0.44852+\frac{1}{2}\times -9.81\times 0.44852^2\\\Rightarrow s=0.98674\ m$

b) Her highest height above the board is 0.98674 m

Total height she would fall is 0.98674+1.8 = 2.78674 m

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 2.78674=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{2.78674\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=0.75375\ s$
