a diver is standing on the diving board. the diver has a mass of 85.0kg and has a gravitational potential emergy of 2.50x103 j standing on the diving board. determine how high the diver is above the water surface

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy of the diver is expressed mathematically as

P = mgh

m = mass of the diver (in kg)

g = acceleration due to gravity (in m/s²)

h = the height of the diver above the water surface.

Given m = 85.0kg, g = 9,8m/s² and P = 2.50x10³ Joules, wecan determine how high the diver is above the water surface bu substituting the given values into the formula;

h = P/mg

h = 2.50x10³/85*9.8

h = 2500/833

h ≈ 3.00m

The diver is 3.00m above the water surface.
