A person is swimming 1.1 m beneath the surface of the water in a swimming pool. A child standing on the diving board drops a ball into the pool directly above the swimmer. The swimmer sees the ball dropped from a height of 4.2 m above the water. From what height was the ball actually dropped?

Review multiple-concept example 7 in this chapter as an aid in solving this problem. in a fast-pitch softball game the pitcher is impressive to watch, as she delivers a pitch by rapidly whirling her arm around so that the ball in her hand moves in a circle. in one instance, the radius of the circle is 0.626 m. at one point on this circle, the ball has an angular acceleration of 66.1 rad/s2 and an angular speed of 12.6 rad/s. (a) find the magnitude of the total acceleration (centripetal plus tangential) of the ball. (b) determine the angle of the total acceleration relative to the radial direction.
