An Olympic high diver has gravitational potential energy because of her height. As she dives, kinetic energy becomes of her energy just before she hits the water.
Gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed or acquired by an object due to a change in its position when it is present in a gravitational field. In simple terms, it can be said that gravitational potential energy is an energy that is related to gravitational force or to gravity.
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, observable as the movement of an object, particle, or set of particles.
When the high diver is standing stable and not moving , that diver has a gravitational potential energy because of the height . The moment she dives , before hitting the water , from being stationary she gained some momentum and come in motion , due to motion her gravitational potential energy will change to kinetic energy before hitting the ground.

Mass doesn't change, no matter where you take it.
Your first impression of ' 0 ' is totally correct.
Complete Question
One day, after pulling down your window shade, you notice that sunlight is passing through a pinhole in the shade and making a small patch of light on the far wall. Having recently studied optics in your physics class, you're not too surprised to see that the patch of light seems to be a circular diffraction pattern. It appears that the central maximum is about 2 cm across, and you estimate that the distance from the window shade to the wall is about 5 m.
Required:
Estimate the diameter of the pinhole.
Answer:
The diameter is 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The central maxima is 
The distance from the window shade is 
The average wavelength of the sun is mathematically evaluated as
Generally the visible light spectrum has a wavelength range between 400 nm to 700 nm
So the initial wavelength of the sun is 
and the final wavelength is 
Substituting this into the above equation
The diameter is evaluated as
substituting values
It mimics the real world accurately
Explanation:
Experiments conducted in the field clearly presents the real world at it is to the scientist. Hardly can any part be controlled precisely and this gives a near to perfect scenario.
- In the laboratory, for example, an organism is isolated from its environment and might not fully display its natural instinct and physiological capabilities.
- Most laboratory set up are driven towards a model instead of real life settings.
- The laboratory is more controlled and less varied and might truly represent the real world. It will only portray a part of the real world and series of further tests might have to be carried out to have a better model.

Iodine-131 has a half life of 8 days, so half of it is gone every 8 days.
10 grams of iodine-131 is left for 24 days.
At 8 days: 10/2=5 grams left
At 16 days: 5/2=2.5 grams left
At 24 days: 2.5/2=1.25 grams left.
**
Your mistake is that you stopped at 16 days.
