Is a person diving into water an example of potential energy?
Its a bad example, but some potential energy is involved. You convert chemical energy from the fuel to kinetic energy and heat energy. The kinetic energy drives you into the water. There the car sinks because of the height difference and gravity. This is a form of potential energy. A better example would be a person driving up and down a mountain. When driving up a mountain you store kinetic energy into potential energy. On the way down you regain the potential energy you stored, which results in a higher kinetic energy when driving down.
What type of energy does a boy have who jumps up and dives off of a diving board?
Kinetic energy, and gravitational potential energy.
What is potential energy of a 150 kg diver standing on a diving board that is 10 m high?
150
What type of energy does a diver have while standing at the edge of a diving board?
I think itz gravitational potential energy
What is the main difference between potential and kinetic?
The main difference between potential and kinetic energy is that potential is energy that has the opportunity to become kinetic. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.examples of potential energy- a spring being squeezed; When you are at the top of the diving board getting ready to dive; winding up before you throw a pitch (in softball); etc.examples of kinetic energy- a person running; a car speeding; falling down the stairs; etc.
An example of fluid friction?
An airplane flying through the air, a swimmer diving into a pool etc.
What type of energy dose a diver have while standing at the edge of a diving bored?
it depends if it is bouncing if it is it is kinetic energy but it your just standing on it it's potential
Why is a swimmer not hurt while diving in a deep water tank?
its because he is a good swimmer
What energy forms are used when diving into pool?
kinetic energy
Can a swimmer also compete in diving at the Olympics?
Athletes specialize in one sport only but i s'pose they could
How fast is Tom Daley?
Tom is a diver not a swimmer in competition. Speed is not measured in diving.
What has the author Harold S Ulen written?
Harold S. Ulen has written: 'The complete swimmer' -- subject(s): Diving, Swimming
What type of diving was introduced as an Olympic sport in 2000?
the swandive was first preformed by the olympic, hungarian swimmer Dic borsch, in 2000.

Is underwater a compound word?
Diving does not consist of two separate words together, so it is not a compound word.
Can energy to be both potential energy and kinetic energy?
Yes but not both at the same time. All energy is conserved, therefore energy before equals energy after. For example jumping from a ten metre diving board you have gravitational potential energy as you are fulling gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
Why is water so important to Scuba Diving?
Water is important to scuba diving because it IS the environment in which the activity takes place. Just like the sky is important for skydiving, water is important to a swimmer, a tree for a logger, or plants to a gardener.
