Answer:
Part a)
[tex]v_f = 7.99 m/s[/tex]
Part b)
[tex]y = 3.25 m[/tex]
Explanation:
Part a)
Since the diver is moving under gravity
so here its acceleration due to gravity will be uniform throughout the motion
so here we will have
[tex]v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a y[/tex]
here we have
[tex]v_i = 2.22 m/s[/tex]
[tex]y = -3 m[/tex]
[tex]v_f^2 - (2.22)^2 = 2(-9.81)(-3)[/tex]
[tex]v_f = 7.99 m/s[/tex]
Part b)
at highest point of his motion the final speed will be zero
so we will have
[tex]v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a (\Delta y)[/tex]
[tex]0 - 2.22^2 = 2(-9.81)(y - 3)[/tex]
[tex]y = 3.25 m[/tex]
