Understanding the Concepts
* Kinetic Energy: The energy an object possesses due to its motion.
* Formula: Kinetic Energy (KE) = 1/2 * mass (m) * velocity² (v²)
Calculations
1. Identify the given values:
* Mass (m) = 60 kg
* Velocity (v) = 10 m/s
2. Apply the formula:
KE = 1/2 * 60 kg * (10 m/s)²
KE = 30 kg * 100 m²/s²
KE = 3000 Joules (J)
Answer: The kinetic energy of the diver is 3000 Joules.
