Given that an Olympic diver starts at 7.5 m above the water, during her dive, she goes 1.5 m below the water, the vertical distance the diver travels is 9 meters.

To determine what is the vertical distance the diver travels the following calculation must be performed:

The initial height must be subtracted from the final height, in order to obtain the difference between the two heights.

  • 1.5 - (-7.5) = X
  • 1.5 + 7.5 = X
  • 9 = X  

Therefore, the vertical distance the diver travels is 9 meters.

The vertical distance traveled by the Olympic diver is 6 m

The given parameters include:

  • initial position of the Olympic diver, x₁ = 7.5 m above the water
  • final position of the Olympic diver, x₂ = 1.5 m below the water

The sketch of the Olympic diver's displacement is as follows;

                                   x₁ ---------- 7.5 m

                                         |

                                         |

                                         |

                                         |

                                    ----------- water surface

                                         |

                                         ↓

                                  x₂ ------------ 1.5 m below water surface

The vertical distance from x₁ to x₂  = 7.5 m - 1.5 m = 6 m

Therefore, the vertical distance traveled by the Olympic diver is 6 m
