Answer:
10.4 m/s
Explanation:
The problem can be solved by using the following SUVAT equation:
where
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
t is the time
For the diver in the problem, we have:
is the initial velocity (positive because it is upward)
is the acceleration of gravity (negative because it is downward)
By substituting t = 1.7 s, we find the velocity when the diver reaches the water:
And the negative sign means that the direction is downward: so, the speed is 10.4 m/s.
m = mass = 5 kg
= initial velocity = 100 m/s
= final velocity = ?
I = impulse = 30 Ns
Using the impulse-change in momentum equation
I = m( -
)
30 = 5 ( - 100)
= 106 m/s
