In a belly-flop diving contest, the winner is the diver who makes the biggest splash upon hitting the water. the size
of the splash depends not only on the diver's style, but also on the amount of kinetic energy the diver has. consider
a contest in which each diver jumps from a 3.00-m platform. one diver has a mass of 136 kg and simply steps off
the platform. another diver has a mass of 100 kg and leaps upward from the platform. how high would the second
diver have to leap to make a competitive splash?

Sagot :

The second diver have to leap to make a competitive splash by 4.08 m high.

What is potential energy?

The energy by virtue of its position is called the potential energy.

PE = mgh

where, g = 9.81 m/s²

Given is the diver jumps from a 3.00-m platform. one diver has a mass of 136 kg and simply steps off the platform. another diver has a mass of 100 kg and leaps upward from the platform.

The potential energy of the first diver must be equal to the second diver.

P.E₁ = P.E₂

m₁gh₁ = m₂gh₂

Substitute the vales, we have

136 x 3  = 100 x h₂

h₂ = ₂4.08 m

Thus, the second diver need to leap by 4.08 m high.
