Dock diving is a great form of athletic competition for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Sheba, the American Pit Bull Terrier, runs and jumps off the dock with an initial speed of 8.82 m/s at an angle of 28°with respect to the surface of the water. (Assume that the +x axis is in the direction of the run and the +y axis is up.) (a) If Sheba begins at a height of 0.76 m above the surface of the water, through what horizontal distance does she travel before hitting the surface of the water? Answer In m please (b) Write an expression for the velocity of Sheba, in component form, the instant before she hits the water. (Express your answer in vector form.)  (c) Determine the peak height
