A 65 kg swimmer jumps off a 10m tower.
A. Find the swimmer's velocity on hitting the water. (I got this because I understood this question. It came out to 14m/s)
B. The Swimmer comes to a stop 2.0m below the surface. Find the net force exerted by the water.
I tried this, Vi=14m/s, Vf=0, d=12m, I thought about using Vf^2=Vi^2+2ad where 0=(14m/s)^2+ (2(a)(12m) How can I rearrange the problem so that I can solve for a? Or am I using the wrong formula???
