a high diver leaves the end of a 5.0 m high diving board and strikes the water 1.4 s later, 2.8m beyond the end of the board. Considering the diver as a particle, determine the following:
a) her initial velocity & angle above horizontal.
b) max height reached above water
c) final velocity as she enters the water & angle below the horizontal
