h = 3.0 + 2.58t - 4.9t^2
h=0 when t=1.08883
v = 2.58 - 9.8*1.08883 = -8.09
max h(0.263) = 3.34
Hmm. the max height seems kinda low, given that he started at 3.0 m up. Better double-check my math.
A diver springs upward with an initial speed of 2.58 m/s from a 3.0-m board. (a) Find the velocity with which he strikes the water.(b) What is the highest point he reaches above the water?
