An Olympic diver is on a diving platform 4.5 m above the water. To start her dive, she runs off of the platform with a speed of 1.3 m/s in the horizontal direction. You will be asked to find the diver's speed just before she enters the water. What are the x- and y components of her velocity just before she enters the water? Note: these may require calculations.vfx = 1.3 m/s; vfy = -4.5 m/svfx = 1.3 m/s; vfy = -9.4 m/svfx = 0 m/s; vfy = 0 m/svfx = 4.5 m/s; vfy = -4.5 m/s
You are walking around your neighborhood and you see a child on top of a roof of a building kick a soccer ball. The soccer ball is kicked at 50° from the edge of the building with an initial velocity of 10 m/s and lands 20 meters away from the wall of the building. Which equation will allow you to solve for the amount of time the ball is in the air? Hint: look at your givens in the x-direction.
