A 67.0 kg diver steps off a diving board and drops straight down into the water. The water provides an upward average net force 1480 N. If the diver comes to rest 4.7 m below the water's surface, what is the total distance between the diving board and the diver's stopping point underwater?

energy from gravity=workdonebywater

mgh=1480*4.7

solve for h.

YOU WRONG bobpursley, jeezus. You think people could tell us the RIGHT answers with the RIGHT explanations.

To find the total distance between the diving board and the diver's stopping point underwater, we need to calculate the initial height from which the diver falls.

We can use the concept of work done to solve this problem. The work done on an object is given by the product of force and displacement, W = F * d.

In this case, the force acting on the diver is the net force exerted by the water, and the displacement is the distance the diver travels downwards. The work done on the diver is equal to the change in the diver’s kinetic energy.

The work done on the diver is equal to the initial kinetic energy when the diver steps off the diving board, which is zero since the diver starts from rest. Therefore, the work done is equal to the change in potential energy of the diver:

W = ΔPE = m * g * h

where m is the mass of the diver (67.0 kg), g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2), and h is the initial height from which the diver falls (unknown).

Rearranging the formula, we can solve for h:

h = W / (m * g)

Now plug in the given values:

h = (1480 N * 4.7 m) / (67.0 kg * 9.8 m/s^2)

Calculating this, we find:

h ≈ 10.73 m

Therefore, the total distance between the diving board and the diver's stopping point underwater is the initial height (h) plus the distance below the water's surface (4.7 m):

Total distance = h + 4.7 m ≈ 10.73 m + 4.7 m ≈ 15.43 m

So, the total distance is approximately 15.43 meters.
