A swimmer jumps from a diving board into a pool. What would a graph of the swimmer's potential energy and total mechanical energy look like?
a Potential energy would increase, while total mechanical energy would remain constant.
b Potential energy would remain constant, while total mechanical energy would decrease.
c Potential energy would remain constant, while total mechanical energy would increase.
d Potential energy would decrease, while total mechanical energy would remain constant.
1 answer
d Potential energy would decrease, while total mechanical energy would remain constant.
