1. A springboard diver performs a dive from a 10 metre tower and jumps with an initial vertical velocity of 5 ms and horizontal velocity of 2 ms. Determine the time she has in the air to perform her dive?
From what I know 0=Vi + at (will give me 1/2 the flight time)
t=5/9.81
t=-0.51 X 2 = Total = 1.02 s... whhich is wrong (do I need to incorperate the Disatnce) or should I try and find the angle between the 2 velocities?
