Diving uses gravitational energy to make the diver fall, and chemical energy to enable the diver to control his or her muscles while diving.

What force after you have climbed to the top of the diving board gives you more potential energy than you had on the ground?

The force of gravity increases your potential energy as you increase your distance from the Earth's surface. Therefore, when you climb to the top of a diving board you have more potential energy due to gravity than you had on the ground.


Energy systems are used for platform diving?

Platform diving primarily relies on the anaerobic energy system, which provides short bursts of high-intensity energy necessary for explosive movements during dives. Additionally, the aerobic energy system helps to sustain performance during longer practice sessions or competitions. Both systems work together to support the physical demands of platform diving.

Is a swimmer standing on a diving board a example of kinetic energy?

No, a swimmer standing on a diving board is an example of potential energy, as the swimmer has the potential to move and convert that stored energy into kinetic energy once they dive into the water.


Which would have more potential energy a man diving form a 2 meter board or a man diving from a 10 meter board?

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.
