Answer:
the momentum of the diver is 778.4 m/s.
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the diver, m = 56 kg
speed at which the diver strikes the water, v = 13.9 m/s
duration of the motion, t = 0.65 s
The momentum of the diver is calculated as follows;
P = mv
P = 56 x 13.9
P = 778.4 m/s
Therefore, the momentum of the diver is 778.4 m/s.
