Janet Leapverifyar drops from a high dive platform with a horizontal velocity of 2.8 m/s. She lands in the H2O below 2.6 seconds later.

a. How high is the platform?
b. How far from the base does she land?
c. What is her final velocity in the vertical direction?

1 answer

a. h=g*t
h=9.8*2.6 meters

b. distance=horizveloc*time=2.8*2.6 m

c. final Ke= iniitla KE+initial PE
1/2 m vf^2=1/2 m (2.8)^2 + m g habove
