An Olympic diver is on a diving platform 9.6m above the water. To start her dive,...
The platform height for Olympic divers is 10 m. A 60 kg diver steps off the platform to begin her dive. a. How much gravitational potential energy does the diver have? 2. LOL b. How much kinetic energy does the diver have as she strikes the water? c. How much work does the water do on the diver to stop her motion? d. If the diver stops in 2.5 m after entering the water, what net force is applied to...
A diver runs horizontally off the end of a diving board with an initial speed of 1.50 m/s . If the diving board is 2.50 m above the water, what is the diver's speed just before she enters the water? v=______m/s
What is the divers speed at the start of her drive? (Hint: It is the same as when she passes the high board) The diver jumps off the high board a second time with the same speed, but this time she jumps at an angle 70 degrees at an angle from the horizontal. What is the divers velocity as she hits the water this time? You are evaluating the safety of a high school athletic diving program. Safety analysis has...
5. An Olympic high diver is launching off the diving board at a height of 2 meters measured off the surface of the water. At this moment of the diver's launch, the diver is momentarily at rest and the spring in the diving board is fully compressed by 50cm from its natural length. The spring in the springboard has a spring constant of 170N/m. The diver has a mass of 85kg. a. What is the gravitational potential energy of the...
1.5m 1.5m 45 The uniform diving platform above has a mass of 300 [kg]. A diver of mass 100 [kg] stands on the right edge of the platform. Suddenly, the support strut gives way (so that the platform and diver start spinning around P. You can assume that the black start suddenly vanished). What is the acceleration of the diver downwards at that point? IT IS NOT 9.8 m/s^2.
1. An Olympic diver drops from the 10 meter platform with an initial vertical velocity of 0.0 m/s. If the diver needs to clear the edge of the pool by 5 m, what was the horizontal velocity of the diver at the instant of takeoff? What was the horizontal velocity right before landing? (You may assume that the edge of the platform was directly above the edge of the pool.) 2. A long jumper leaves the ground at an angle...
A technologically oriented diving coach wishes to analyze the vertical "push off" for members of the diving team. In order to do this, she simulates the diving process by having the athletes drop (free fall) from an adjustable height platform onto a "force-o-meter" which measures the vertical force the divers exert on the ground as a function of time. For a particular diver with a mass of 54.0 kg, she sets the adjustable height platform at 0.570 m and instructs...
In Olympic diving, the time one spends in the air determines the number of somersaults and twists the athlete can attempt. On the 3-m springboard, the diver's center of mass first rises by 1 m, then falls to the water. On the 10-m platform dive, the diver more or less falls vertically, with very little initial rise. a) How long is the 10-m platform diver in the air for? b) How long is the 3-m springboard diver in the air...
A diver springs upward from a board that is 4.10 m above the water. At the instant she contacts the water her speed is 12.7 m/s and her body makes an angle of 78.8 ° with respect to the horizontal surface of the water. Determine her initial velocity, both (a) magnitude and (b) direction.
A diver springs upward from a board that is 4.50 m above the water. At the instant she contacts the water her speed is 14.2 m/s and her body makes an angle of 62.2 ° with respect to the horizontal surface of the water. Determine her initial velocity, both (a) magnitude and (b) direction.
