Answer:
The diver can jump a height of 4m in the swimming area.
Explanation:
Using the kinematics equation of the final velocity in terms of the distance, we have that:
Since the final velocity is zero (because the diver comes to a stop in his maximum height), we conclude:
If we assume that the initial velocity is conserved (as the diver jumps with this initial velocity every time), we obtain:
In words, the diver can jump a height of 4m in the swimming area.
