- You and a couple friends have entered a diving competition during your March Break. You will be diving from the 5m (highest) platform at the University of Toronto Varsity Pool. You know that your acceleration while falling will be the acceleration of gravity, 9.81m/s2 , but you’re wondering about the rate at which you’ll be slowing down once you enter the water – and really – will it hurt. Science has shown us that 2 times the acceleration of gravity is exhilarating (like a roller coaster), but at 3 times the acceleration of gravity most people are uncomfortable. You estimate that it will take 0.64s to stop once you enter the water. You and your friends decide to figure out what your acceleration will be before you commit to making the dive.a) What will your acceleration in the water be?b) Will it hurt?arrow_forwardA rocket-powered hockey puck moves on a horizontal frictionless table.

The stone subsequently falls to the ground, which is 16.7 m below the point where the stone leaves his hand. At what speed does the stone impact the ground?

A horse can maintain a top speed of 20 m/s for a long distance but has a maximum acceleration of only 6.0 m/s2, half what a good human sprinter can achieve with a block to push against. Greyhounds, dogs especially bred for feats of running, have a top speed of 17 m/s, but their acceleration is much greater than that of the horse. Greyhounds are particularly adept at turning corners at a run. A greyhound on a racetrack turns a corner at a constant speed of 15 m/s with an acceleration of 7.1 m/s2.
