quizlet the velocity of a diver just before hitting the water is -10.1 m/s, where the minus sign indicates that her motion is directly downward. what is her displacement during the last 1.20 s of the dive?

Respuesta :

The displacement is 4.0 m in downward dive

Solving :

The velocity of a diver just before hitting the water is -10.1 m/s ( i.e final velocity  [tex]v_{f} = - 10.1 m/s[/tex]  ).

Therefore velocity of diver before 1.20 s,

[tex]v_{i} = v_{f} + gt\\\\[/tex]

 = -10.1 m/s + 9.8 m/s²(1.20)

 = - 0.36 m/s

Now the displacement  during the last 1.20 s of the dive, from the vertical motion,

s = [tex]v_{i} t + \frac{1}{2 } gt^{2}[/tex]

s = - 4.0 m

 Thus, the displacement is 4.0 m in downward.

Definition of displacement :

the act or process of displacing : the state of being displaced a storm that caused the displacement of thousands of individuals . 2 a physics : the quantity or weight of a fluid (such as water) displaced (see displace sense 2 a) by a floating body (such as a ship) of equal weight.

What is an example of a displacement?

For example, a 4-year-old child is probably going to simply yell at a parent when they are upset. On the opposite hand, a 14-year-old might displace their frustration with a parent by fighting with a younger sibling
