A Diver's Cliff Jump Calculation
Calculation of Diver's Cliff Jump
A diver jumps off a 60 m cliff with an initial horizontal velocity of 3m/s. We need to find the time needed for the diver to reach the water.
Given:
Initial vertical distance (S) = 60 m
Initial horizontal velocity (v) = 3 m/s
We know the formula for time (t) is:
t = S / v
Now, we can plug in the values:
t = 60 / 3
t = 20 seconds
Therefore, the diver will reach the water in 20 seconds.
What is the time needed for the diver to reach the water after jumping off a 60 m cliff with an initial horizontal velocity of 3m/s?
20 seconds
