Did you know?
Did you know that if a high-diver performs a handstand dive from a platform and enters the water at a velocity of 15.79 m/s, they would have traveled a certain distance? This distance is known as displacement, which refers to the change in position. In this case, the displacement of the diver would depend on factors such as the height of the platform and the angle at which they executed the dive. The more vertical the dive, the smaller the horizontal displacement. So, the specific displacement value cannot be determined without more information. Nonetheless, understanding displacement helps us measure how far an object moves, providing insights into the motion and position changes of different objects, including high-divers!
