Question

A diver who weighs 500 N steps off a diving board that is 10 m above the water. The diver hits the water with kinetic energy of___________________.

Answer 1

Answer:

Diver hits the water with kinetic energy of 5000 J

Explanation:

We have given weight of the diver F = 500 N

Diver steps off a diving board which is 10 m above the water

So work don by diver $W=force\times distance=500\times 10=5000J$

Now according to energy theorem work done is equal to kinetic energy

So kinetic energy will be equal to 5000 J

So diver hits the water with kinetic energy of 5000 J
