A diver jumps off a diving platform that is 20 meters long. Describe the transfer of energy that occurs during the fall.
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer: gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy

Explanation:

When the diver stands on the platform, at 20 m above the surface of the water, he has some gravitational potential energy, which is given by

E=mgh

where m is the man's mass, g is the gravitational acceleration and h is the height above the water. As he jumps, the gravitational potential energy starts decreasing, because its height h above the water decreases, and he acquires kinetic energy, which is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where v is the speed of the diver, which is increasing. When he touches the water, all the initial gravitational potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy.

When an 81 kg adult uses a spiral staircase to climb to the second floor of his house, his gravitational potential energy increa
professor190 [17]

Answer:

option (e) is correct.

Explanation:

mass of adult, M = 81 kg

Gravitational Potential energy of adult, U = 2000 J

Let the height raised is h.

U = mass of adult x g x h

2000 = 81 x 9.8 x h

h = 2.52 m

mass of adult, m = 18 kg

height raised, h = 2.52 m

Potential energy of child, U' = m x g x h

U' = 18 x 2.52 x 9.8 = 444.44 J

Thus, option (e) is correct.
