Assuming that the two are the same man ... the man diving from a 10 meter board would have five times the potential energy as the man on the 2 meter board. The energy is directly proportional to the height.

What is competitive diving?

Competitive diving is when an athlete participates in competitions in the area of springboard diving. There is spring board diving, which is done on either a one meter or a three meter diving board. Then, there is platform diving, which is most commonly done on a five meter, seven meter and ten meter. Diving is a competitive sport practiced in the Olympics, where they do both springboard and platform diving.


Is there a 2 meter diving board?

no there is only the 1,3 meter spring board and the 1,3,5,7 1/2,10 meter platform


Mechanical energy is a term that is used to describe?

Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy of some object. So any object in motion, has potential to be in motion, or has both has mechanical energy. Your car in motion has kinetic energy and potential for more kinetic energy in the gasoline that it runs on. So your car has mechanical energy. Or you up on the three-meter diving board at the pool have potential for kinetic energy when you take a swan dive off that board. You have mechanical energy there. But, bottom line, pretty much any object that is either in motion or can be put into motion has a form of mechanical energy.

What is the si unit for potential energy difference?

Potential energy is measure in Joules (J). A Joule is a Newton*meter (N*m)


A 2 meter high man standing on a 32 meter building raise an 1kg object 0.5 meter what is the potential energy of the object?

Potential Energy = mgh=1kg x 10m/s2 x 34.5m=345kg.m2/s2


What is the rocks gravitational potential energy if it is at 100 meter height the rock mass is 1kg'?

At 100 meters this rock's potential energy is 980 joules.


Why is the gravitational potential energy of an object 1 meter above the Moon's surface less than its potential energy 1 meter above Earth's surface?

There is less gravity on the Moon. Gravitational potential energy can be calculated by multiplying weight x height, or the equivalent mass x gravity x height.


Why is the gravitational potential energy of an objects 1 meter above the moons surface less than its potential energy 1 meter above Earths surface?

because the value of gravitational force of earth is greater than that of moon.
