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.

Answer:
The importance of international bureau of weights and measures are;
1. to bring unification of measurement system.
2. to establish and preserve fundamental international prototypes.
3. to verify national standards, etc.
<u>Given that:</u>
Ball dropped from a bridge at the rate of 3 seconds
Determine the height of fall (S) = ?
As we know that, S = ut + 1/2 ×a.t²
u =initial velocity = 0
a= g =9.81 m/s (since free fall)
S = 0+ 1/2 × 9.81 × 3²
<em> S = 44.145 m</em>
<em>44.145 m far is the bridge from water</em>
The Moment of Inertia of the Disc is represented by
. (Correct answer: A)
Let suppose that the Disk is a Rigid Body whose mass is uniformly distributed. The Moment of Inertia of the element is equal to the Moment of Inertia of the entire Disk minus the Moment of Inertia of the Hole, that is to say:
(1)
Where:
- Moment of inertia of the Disk.
- Moment of inertia of the Hole.
Then, this formula is expanded as follows:
(1b)
Dimensionally speaking, Mass is directly proportional to the square of the Radius, then we derive the following expression for the Mass removed by the Hole (
):


And the resulting equation is:



The moment of inertia of the Disc is represented by
. (Correct answer: A)
