Jack jumped off a diving board and hit the water at 15.68 m/s downward. How long was he falling for before he hit the water?

1.6 s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were:

Velocity (v) = 15.68 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

Thus, we can calculate the time taken for Jack to hit the water by using the following formula:

v = gt

15.68 = 9.8 × t

Divide both side by 9.8

t = 15.68 / 9.8

t = 1.6 s

Therefore, it took Jack 1.6 s to hit the water.

increasing transnational kinetic energy. because the transnational kinetic energy formula consists of only two variables, mass and velocity, increasing one of those properties is the only way to increase an object's transnational kinetic energy. increases to mass and velocity, however, do not have the same impact.
