The diver on the diving board in the opening picture weighs 500 Newtons. The diving board is 5 meters above the ground. What is the diver’s gravitational potential energy?

The diver’s gravitational potential energy above ground level is  2500J.

Given the data in the question;

Potential energy is the energy an object posses due to its position relative to other objects. It is expressed as:

Where m is the mass of the object, h is its height and g is gravitational acceleration on earth. ( )

We know that;

Weight = mass × gravitational acceleration = mg

Hence

We substitute our given values into the equation

Therefore, the diver’s gravitational potential energy above ground level is  2500J.

Gravitational potential energy of the diver is given as 2500 J

Explanation:

As we know that gravitational potential energy is given as

here we know that weight of the diver is given as

height of the diver is given as

so we will have

increasing transnational kinetic energy. because the transnational kinetic energy formula consists of only two variables, mass and velocity, increasing one of those properties is the only way to increase an object's transnational kinetic energy. increases to mass and velocity, however, do not have the same impact.
