Question

Janet jumps off a high diving platform with

a horizontal velocity of 2.6 m/s and lands in
the water 1.5 s later.
How far from the base of the platform
does she land? The acceleration of gravity
is 9.8 m/s?
Answer in units of m.

Answer 1

11.025m

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question there is no vertical velocity,

t= 1.5s

Height of platform=h

From Newton equation

s = ut + 1/2gt^2

But there is no vertical velocity,

Hence,

Then u=0

h = 0 + 1/2 x 9.8 x (1.5)^2

h = 11.025m
