Question

This diver has just jumped up from the end of the diving board. After she dives down and is falling toward the water, she’ll have kinetic energy, or the energy of moving matter. But even as she is momentarily stopped high above the water, she has energy. Do you know why?

Answer 1

Mechanical energy is divided into two:Kinetic energy and Potential energy....The diver diving down exhibits kinetic energy because she is moving but when she has stopped it means she has potential energy which means that a body is at rest....
