A diver walks out to the end of a diving board and jumps on its end to launch himself into the air. Assume that the diver's motion is essentially vertical. He leaves the board, which is 6.00 m above the water, with a speed of 9.10 m/s. (a) How long is the diver in the air, from the moment he leaves the board until he reaches the water? (b) What is the speed of the diver when he reaches the water?
