An inflatable life raft is released from an air plane at 300 m altitude, in level flight, with an air speed of 40 m/s in the horizontal direction. Neglecting air resistance, how long before the raft strikes the water?

Qbs E.
A diver takes off with a speed of 8.0 m/s from a 3 m high diving board at 30° above the horizontal. How much later does she strike the water?
Madhur L.
Assume air resistance is negligible unless otherwise stated. A swimmer bounces straight up from a diving board and falls feet first into a pool. She starts with a velocity of $4.00 \mathrm{m} /$ s, and her takeoff point is $1.80 \mathrm{m}$ above the pool. (a) How long are her feet in the air? (b) What is her highest point above the board? (c) What is her velocity when her feet hit the water?
