A cliff diver jumps from a ledge 96 feet above the ocean with an initial upward velocity of 16 feet per second. How long will it take until the diver enters the water?

In my opinion it would be about 36 seconds

the diver will hit the water in 6 sec. because if you divide 96 by 16 you get 6. Also, in order to find the velocity, you divide the time and distance. :)
