- An athlete on a trampoline leaps straight up into the air with an initial speed of 9.0 m/s. Find the following: (a) the maximum height reached by the athlete relative to the trampoline 4.1 m(b) the speed of the athlete when she is halfway up to her maximum heightarrow_forwardA diver jumps off a cliff of height h at an angle 0 = 58° (see figure). He reaches a maximum height of hmax= 21 m above the top of the cliff before falling to the water below. He hits the water X=215 m from the base of the cliff. Determine the speed of the diver just before he hits the water, VĄ. Take g=10m/s<.
