Given information

Given a diver leaves the end of a -m-high diving board and strikes the water later, beyond the end of the board. Considering the diver as a particle.

To determine the maximum height reached.

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.
Maximum height is a quantity related to the object's vertical motion. Therefore, a kinematic equation for the vertical motion will be used to solve it.
From part a, the following quantities in the vertical motion are known:
  • total time of motion  
  • initial vertical position  
  • vertical acceleration  
Note that the time above is the time for the entire motion and not the time to reach the maximum height.
