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

U = 14700 J

Step-by-step 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
