An Olympic diver starts at 7.5 m above the water. During her dive, she goes 1.5
m below the water. What is the vertical distance the diver travels?

The answer is 9 meters.

Given that an Olympic diver starts at 7.5 m above the water, during her dive, she goes 1.5 m below the water, to determine what is the vertical distance the diver travels the following calculation must be performed:

1.5 - (-7.5) = X

1.5 + 7.5 = X

9 = X

Therefore, the vertical distance the diver travels is 9 meters.

The vertical distance traveled by the Olympic diver is 6 m

The given parameters include:

The sketch of the Olympic diver's displacement is as follows;

                                   x₁ 7.5 m

                                         |

                                         |

                                         |

                                         |

                                    water surface

                                         |

                                         ↓

                                  x₂ 1.5 m below water surface

The vertical distance from x₁ to x₂  = 7.5 m - 1.5 m = 6 m

Therefore, the vertical distance traveled by the Olympic diver is 6 m

there has been genes found in the x chromosome of males that have been linked to [homo/hetero]sexuality. in addition to the reign of the x chromosome, a section of chromosome 8 has also been link to, "alot of ppl are so " these facts were proven true after a 2014 study of a gay male and his strait brother. according to newscientist.com,"chromosome 14 and is mainly active in the thyroid, but also the brain. called tshr, it makes a type of receptor protein that recognises and binds to a hormone that stimulates the thyroid. in this way, the gene plays an important role in controlling thyroid function. the fact that tshr seems to be involved in sexual orientation fits with evidence that thyroid function seems to be linked to sexuality."

in conclusion, "ppl are so gay" due to their genetics.
