What is the potential energy of a 150 kg diver standing on a diving board that is 10 m high? the potential energy is j.

The potential energy is  14700J.

Explanation:

Definition of potential energy:

Potential energy is the energy that measures the ability of a object  to perform a job based solely on its position (height at which the object is from the ground), and it is calculated with the following formula:

Ep= m*g*h Formula (1)

Ep: Potential energy in Joules (J)

m : mass (kg)

g: acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)

h: height (m)

Data

m= 150 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

h=  10 m

Problem development

We replace data in formula (1)

Ep=  150 kg*9.8 m/s²*10 m = 14700 N*m =  14700J

Ep=  14700J

d. platinum would have the greatest temperature increase because it has the lowest specific heat.

the answer is 100. i just did this lesson and got a 100% on it. : )
