Find the velocity with which he strikes the water

Reference no: EM13557226

A diver springs upward with an initial speed of 1.7 m/s from a 3.0-mboard.

a) Find the velocity with which he strikes thewater.

[Hint: When the diver reaches the water, his displacement isy = -3.0 m (measured from the board), assuming that thedownward direction is chosen as the negative direction.]

b) What is the highest point he reaches above the water?
