Method 1 :
Take g = 9.81 m/s²
Take all downward quantities to be positive, and upward quantities to be negative.
Initial velocity, u = -3.62 m/s
Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²
Displacement, s = 1.80 m
v² = u² + 2as
v² = (-3.62)² + 2(9.81)(1.80) (m/s)²
Speed when she hits the water, |v| = √[(-3.62)² + 2(9.81)(1.80)] m/s = 6.96 m/s
====
Method 2 :
Gain in K.E. = Loss in P.E.
(1/2)mv² - (1/2)m(3.62)² = m(9.81)(1.80)
v² - 3.62² = 2(9.81)(1.80)
v² = 2(9.81)(1.80) + 3.62²
Speed when she hits the water, |v| = √[2(9.81)(1.80) + 3.62²] m/s = 6.96 m/s
