A diver running 2.2 m/s drives out horizontally from the edge of a vertical cliff and 2.9 s

later reaches the water below.

How far from its base did the diver hit the water?

To determine the horizontal distance that the diver traveled before finally hitting the water, we simply multiply the speed (2.2 m/s) by the amount of time elapsed which is 2.9 s. Mathematically,

horizontal distance = (2.2 m/s) x (2.9 s)

= 6.38 m

Thus, the answer to the question above is 6.38 m.
