Answer:
Explanation:
Given
velocity of diver [tex]u=-10\ m/s[/tex] i.e. downward motion
acceleration due to gravity [tex]a=g=-9.8\ m/s^2[/tex]
time [tex]t=1.16\ s[/tex]
using equation of motion
[tex]y=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]
[tex]y=(-10)\cdot 1.16-\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)(1.16)^2[/tex]
[tex]y=-11.6-6.593[/tex]
[tex]y=-18.19\ m[/tex]
I.e. in downward direction
