Question

To begin a dive, a diver jumps into the air and then lands on the diving board, causing it to bend. What type of energy conversions occur as the board springs back and propels the diver up into the air?

Answer 1

As the board springs back, the energy from the person jumping up onto the board is converted into potential energy.
As the diver goes up into the air, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy.
