Yes it is. A diving board is a Class 1 lever. The fulcrum is the screws that hold the diving board in place (the rigid part), the load is the person and the effort force is the force the person exerts when he/she braces herself/himself to jump.
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.
yes,because compared to a person jumping on an oil coverd trampoline to a person jumping on a dry tampoline with socks on,yes you do need friction or you'll slid right off.
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.
A person parachuting from a plane has already acquired potential energy by rising to whatever altitude the plane is at-this energy has been obtained from the fuel used by the plane. This energy is then turned into kinetic energy as a result of the earth's gravitational attraction, and the parachutist goes into freefall. Braking the speed of fall to make a safe landing, the kinetic energy is returned to the air which is slowing the parachute. The net change when the person lands is zero.
sky diving, bungee jumping, rock climbing, scuba diving, surfing, parasailing
Potential energy turns into kinetic energy.
Jumping and diving so much can be damaging to the knees if they are not protected safely. It also takes a lot of time from a person.
In English, we have first, second, and third person, but no fifth person. Each person has a singular and plural form.Past progressive forms of jump:I was jumping (first person singular)We were jumping (first person plural)You were jumping (second person singular and plural)He/she was jumping (third person singular)They were jumping (third person plural)
A person that is good at it.

Yes it is. A diving board is a Class 1 lever. The fulcrum is the screws that hold the diving board in place (the rigid part), the load is the person and the effort force is the force the person exerts when he/she braces herself/himself to jump.
The energy changes that happen during a bungee jump are:Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) changes into elastic potential energy and kinetic energy as the string starts to stretch and the person starts to fall.When the person is at the bottom, GPE is changed into elastic potential energy as the string is stretched further.As the person rebounds, elastic potential energy is changed into kinetic energy and GPE as the person moves upwards and they get higher.
Yes.
One can find information on cave diving through the cave diving website. Another website to look at is Waves n Caves, and if a person wants to know specifically about cave diving in Britain they can search the cave diving group website.
