An Olympic diver is on a diving platform 5.70 m above the water. To start her dive, she runs off of the platform with a speed of 1.27 m/s in the horizontal direction. What is the diver's speed, in m/s, just before she enters the water?

10.65 m/s

Explanation:

Given that an  Olympic diver is on a diving platform 5.70 m above the water. To start her dive, she runs off of the platform with a speed of 1.27 m/s in the horizontal direction.

Her initial velocity U = 1.27 m/s

The height H = 5.7 m

The final velocity V will be calculated by using the formula;

V^2 = U^2 + 2gH

Substitute U, g and H into the formula

V^2 = 1.27^2 + 2 × 9.8 × 5.7

V^2 = 1.6129 + 111.72

V^2 = 113.33

V = sqrt ( 113.33)

V = 10.65 m/s

Therefore, the diver's speed, in m/s, just before she enters the water is 10.65

blue light is scattered in different directions by the tiny molecules of air. blue is scattered more than other colours because it has a shorter distance to travel which results in smaller waves. this is why we see a blue sky most of the time.
