A diver bounces straight up from a diving board, avoiding the diving board on the way down, and falls feet first into a pool. She starts with a velocity of 3.00 m/s, and her takeoff point is 1.60 m above the pool. a. What is her highest point (in m) above the board? b. How long a time (in s) are her feet in the air? c. What is her velocity (in m/s) when her feet hit the water? (Assume the positive direction is upward. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)
