Question

A 50 kg diver stands motionless at the top of 10.0 meter high dive. What is her potential energy?

Answer 1

4905

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Potential energy=4905 Joule

Step-by-step explanation:

Potential energy is defined as the energy between two bodies due to its relative positions. Here one body is the diver and the other body is the earth. So acceleration will be the constant
`9.81\ m/s^2`

`P.E.=m* g* h\\where\ m=mass\ of\ body=50\ kg\\g=acceleration\ due\ to\ gravity=9.81\ m/s^2\\h=height\ at\ which\ the\ body\ is\ from\ the\ ground=10.0\ m\\\Rightarrow P.E.=50* 9.81* 10.0\\\therefore Potential\ Energy=4905\ Joule`
