The sport of diving requires lots of focus, strength, athleticism and physics. Unless you take a deeper look into diving, you may not realize how much of a role physics plays in it. Diving first of all has to do with velocity/speed, distance, time and acceleration; which are all components of kinematics and include variables used to solve kinematic equations in physics. The speed at which the diver is moving can be used to determine the time it takes for them to go from the diving board to the surface of the water. There is also momentum in diving from the time that the diver takes off and by the time they hit the water, and momentum relates back to scalars and vectors because momentum itself is a vector quantity.
