Question

What is the potential energy of a 150 kg diver standing on a diving board that is 10 m high?

Answer 1

150kg*10m*10N/kg=15000J

Answer 2

Answer:

U = 14700 J

Explanation:

As we know that gravitational potential energy is given as

$U = mgh$

here we know that

m = 150 kg

g = 9.8 m/s/s

h = 10 m

now from above equation we know that

$U = 150(9.8)(10)$

$U = 14700 J$

so here correct answer will be

d. 15,020 J
