Question

a 55.0 kg    diver fallsfreely from a diving platform that is 3.00 m above the surface of the water in apool. When she is 1.00 m   above the water , what are her gravitational potential energy with respect to the water's surface? Can you please help me arrive at the answer a 55.0 kg    diver fallsfreely from a diving platform that is 3.00 m above the surface of the water in apool. When she is 1.00 m   above the water , what are her gravitational potential energy with respect to the water's surface? Can you please help me arrive at the answer

Explanation / Answer

her gravitational potential energy is potential energy = mgy                         = (55)(9.8)(1)                         = 539 J from the problem we were told m = 55 kg, y = 1 m, and g =acceleration due to gravity = 9.8
