Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming a toy glider works on a spring potential energy is stored when the spring(launcher) is fully compressed..and is released when the spring is released.

Potential Energy is stored when the diver has stepped on the board, and the board is at the bottom of its movement, and is released when the diver jumps off.
