Homework Statement


Janet jumps off a high-diving platform with a horizontal velocity of 3.1 m/s and lands in the water 3.0 s later. How high is the platform, and how far from the base of the platform does she land?
m (height)
m (distance from platform)


Homework Equations



horizontalV*t=D

The Attempt at a Solution


I have got the distance from platform to be 9.3m using the forunla, but am unsure of the height like what formula to use
