To find the potential energy of the diver standing still on the tower, we can use the equation:
Potential energy = mass * gravity * height
where:
mass = 65 kg (mass of the diver)
gravity = 9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration due to gravity)
height = 10.0 m (height above the water)
Plugging in the values, we get:
Potential energy = 65 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 10.0 m
= 63700 J
Therefore, the potential energy of the diver standing still on the tower is 63700 Joules.
A 65 kg diver stands still on a tower, 10.0 m above the water
