Velocity and Acceleration and Free Fall Physics Exercises - EnglishRECITATIONCHAPTER 3312 A daring 510 N swimmer dives off a cliff with a running horizontal leap as shown in the figure below What mus

tant. Thus, the velocity just before it lands safely on the other side is the same as the initial velocity in the x direction. Using the constant acceleration equation for the y direction and the time of flight found in part (a), we can find the initial velocity in the y direction.

Now, using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the initial speed of the car as it leaves the cliff:

Thus, the car must be traveling at least 23.7 m/s (rounded to two decimal places) to clear the river and land safely on the opposite side
