Question
The graph shows the kinematics (vertical position, velocity, and acceleration) of the center of gravity of a diver and the reaction force of the diving boar during the takeoff phase for a 3 1?2 backward somersault dive in the tuck position.
a) At what time (approximately) does the displacement of the diver change direction? How many times does this occur during the takeoff phase of the dive?
b) When does the center of gravity accelerate in the upward direction and when does it accelerate in the downward direction?
c) What is the relationship between the diver’s acceleration curve and the reaction force curve?
d) What is the relationship between the diver’s position and reaction force curves?
