Answer:
2. The solution given I was given the solution to use the equation d = v0t + 0.5at2 and solve for t, which would end up in the form of the Quadratic formula. The answer given is 1.3s.

From how I understand it, the solution would give the answer for just the red highlighted part in the projectile trail of this picture: [PLAIN]http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/1486/diagram2b.jpg [Broken] Since the equation had distance (Or is it displacement?) = 3m, I think that it did not include anything above the diving board. Am I wrong here? ----------------------Alternative--------------------------- [PLAIN]http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/1645/diagram3.jpg [Broken] If I were given this situation, would I still arrive at the same answer with the same process as this?
