Asked by Martin

A driver jumps off the 3.0m diving board with an initial velocity of 5.0m/s. (a) Determine the maximum height, (b) The time to reach the maximum height, (c) The time it took to touch the water, and (c) The speed when touching the water.

assuming the initial velocity is nearly straight upwards...
at max height, velocity is zero
0=5-9.8t
time to max height= 5/9.8 seconds

time to water:
hf=hi+vi*t-4.8t^2
0=3+5*t-4.9t^2
solve this quadratic equation for t.

speed:
vf=5*t-9.8t^2 put in t, and you have it.
