Use the kinematic equation Vf^2=Vi^2+2ad.
Vf= ?
Vi= 0
a= gravity(9.806m/s^2)
d=10m
Vf= square root of (2*9.8m/s^2*10)
Vf=14m/s
The important thing to notice is that his weight makes NO DIFFERENCE. All objects
fall with the same acceleration, and hit the water at the same time.

A diver jumps from a 48ft cliff into the ocean with an initial velocity of 8 seconds when does he hit the water?
"8 seconds" is not a velocity.
When is the terminal velocity of an object?
That depends on the object & where it is at. TV for a human that jumps out of an airplane is roughly 125 mph. Earth's gravitational pull is 32.2 ft per sec/sq. You have to factor in the drag resistance of air also.
Does air resistance prevent the diver from moving in a straight line once she jumps from the platform?
Since the plane is moving horizontally, the diver will also have this velocity relative to the ground, so on leaving the plane a parabolic curve will tend to be followed although this will be distorted by air resistance.
What is the difference between free fall and static line parachute jumps?
static line jumps are static, free fall are not :P
How do you call the person who jumps from a plane?
A parachutist or parachute jumper voluntarily jumps from a plane. A non-voluntary jumper would be a victim of foul play.

The velocities of seismic waves traveling from earthquake foci?
Generally increase with depth, occasionally making abrupt jumps termed seismic-velocity discontinuities.
Is a relay team disqualified if a swimmer jumps in after both teams swim?
It depeds how strict the oficials are or if it was the last even of the meet. If there were more races after that event then its very possible that they get dsiqualified. It really dpends though.
Is it foul if cue ball jumps after hitting the object ball in 8-ball?
Depends.... Does the ball "jump" off the table and land on the floor? If so then yes. If it jumps off the table and lands back on with out falling into the pocket then no(like a jump). once the ball (any ball) hits the floor it is a foul. jumps are allowed in billards (except snooker i believe)
What prevents the diver from moving in a straight line once she jumps from the platform?
If there is any horizontal component to the diver's velocity, then that will cause a parabolic path instead of a straight line fall due to gravity.

Why is jumps called jumps?
*Why are jumps called jumps?In order to clear an "obstacle" of any sort, a horse must jump over it. Therefore these "obstacles" became known as jumps.
What is the relationship between size of nerve and conduction velocity?
For unmyelinated nerves there is a relationship between axon diameter and conduction velocity. Larger diameter nerves conduct faster. For myelinated nerves the a larger diameter nerve will conduct faster between the nodes of ranvier where the action potential is propagated. Conduction is said to be saltatoryas it jumps from node to node.
If a cricket jumps off the ground with an initial vertical velocity of 4 ft per second what is an equation the height in ft of the crisket as a function of time in seconds since it jumped?
4ft*Ns=H
What are the jumps called in horse shows?
The sport of horse racing over jumps is called steeplechasing, while racing with no jumps is called flat racing.
What materials are used to make horse jumps?
Wood and plastic are the usual materials to manufacture horse jumps. Plastic jumps are more durable than wood jumps and can stand more impacts than wood jumps.
If a skydiver jumps out of an airoplane how much gravity is hitting him?
Exactly the same as hits a passenger sitting comfortably in another airplane at the same altitude:A downward force called his "weight", and a downward acceleration of 9.8 meters per second2.
