Question

A diver running 2.2 m/s drives out horizontally from the edge of a vertical cliff and 2.9 s

later reaches the water below.
How far from its base did the diver hit the water?

Answer 1

To determine the horizontal distance that the diver traveled before finally hitting the water, we simply multiply the speed (2.2 m/s) by the amount of time elapsed which is 2.9 s. Mathematically,
horizontal distance = (2.2 m/s) x (2.9 s)
= 6.38 m
Thus, the answer to the question above is 6.38 m.
