  • Calculating Kinetic Energy: A Step-by-Step Guide with Example
    Here's how to calculate the kinetic energy of the diver:

    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.
