Question

Find the potential energy of a diver of mass 75kg at a height of 10m above a swimming pool g=9.8m

​

Answer 1

`\boxed{\sf Potential \ energy \ (PE) = 7.35 \ kJ}`

Given:

Mass (m) = 75 kg

Height (h) = 10 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

To Find:

Potential Energy (PE)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for potential energy due to gravity:

`\boxed{ \bold{PE = mgh}}`

Substituting value of m, g & h in the formula:

`\sf \implies PE = 75 * 10 * 9.8 \\ \\ \sf \implies PE = 7350 \: J \\ \\ \sf \implies PE = 7.35 \: kJ`
