A 822 N diver drops from a board 12.0 m above the water’s surface. Find the diver’s speed 5.00 m above the water’s surface. ------------  m/s. What is the diver’s speed just before striking the water?

Answer»

Using conservative of energy

mgh1 + 1/2 m(v1)2 = mgh2 + 1/2 m(v2)2

[9 x 12 + 1/2 (o)2] = [9.8 x 5 + 1/2 (v2)2]

\(\because\) g = 9.8

[9.8 x 12 + 0] = [49 + 1/2 + \(\text v_2^2\)]

117.6 = 46 + 1/2 \(\mathrm v_2^2\)

1/2 \(\text v_2^2\) = 117.6 - 49

\(\text v_2^2\) = 68.6 x 2

\(\text v_2^2\) = 137.2

⇒ 11.71 m/s

before srinking the water

mgh1 + 1/2 m\(\text v_1^2\) = mgh2 + 1/2 m\(\text v_1^2\) 

[9.8 x 12 + 1/2 x [0]2] = [9.8 x 0 + 1/2 + \(\text v_2^2\)

117.6  = 1/2 x \(\text v_2^2\) 

\(\text v_2^2\)  = 117.6 x 2

\(\text v_2^2\) = 235.2

v2 = \(\sqrt{235.2}\)

v2 = 15.33 m/s
