A diver running 1.8 m/s dives out horizontally from the edge of a vertical cliff and reaches the water below 2.0 s later.
:
A. How high was the cliff?
the vertical distance traveled by the diver
f(2) = 4.9(2^2)
f(2) = 19.6 meters
:
B. How far from its base did the diver hit the water?
the horizontal distance traveled by the diver
2 * 1.8 = 3.6 meters
