Suppose the diver vaults off the springboard, leaving it with an initial speed of 3.82 m/s upward. Use energy conservation to find his speed when he strikes the water.

___ m/s

Use the values from PRACTICE IT to help you work this exercise

which the values are

A diver of mass m drops from a board 12.0m above the water's surface, as shown in the figure. Neglect air resistance.

(a) Use conservation of mechanical energy to find his speed 6.00 m above the water's surface

10.84 m/s (this is right)

(b)  Find his speed as he hits the water.

15.34 (this is right)
