2a diver dives from a diving board into a swimming pool
with a depth of 4.5 m. the height of the diver above the
water, hm, can be modelled using h = 10 – 0.58x2 for
0 < x < 5, where x m is the horizontal distance from
the end of the diving board.
a find the height of the diver when x = 2 m.
b find the horizontal distance from the end of the diving board to the point where the diver
enters the water.
in this model the diver is modelled as particle.
c describe the effects of this modelling assumption.
d comment on the validity of this modelling assumption for the motion of the diver after she
enters the water.
