A diver springs upward with an initial speed of 1.8 m/s from a 3.5-m board.

What is the highest point he reaches above the water?

So the final velocity of the diver at the highest point is zero, acceleration is -9.8 m/s/s, initial velocity is 1.8 m/s.

I keep getting .16 m but that's apparently incorrect...

EDIT: ****. I'm an idiot. 3.5m + .16 m = 3.66 m. Wow. Just wow.
