1. In Mostar Bosnia,the ultimate test of a young man's courage once was to jump off a 400-year-old bridge (destroyed in a war in the 1990's) into the river Neretva, 23 m below the bridge. (a) How long did the jump last? (b) How fast was the diver traveling upon impact with the river? (c) If the speed of sound is 340 m/s, how long after the diver took off did a spectator on the bridge hear the splash?
