    Calculating Total Energy of a High Diver's Leap

    ohhh would the potential energy be the same as the kinetic energy?? KE =10,000 J. would the potenial energy be lost and kinetic energy gainned?

    Calculating Total Energy of a High Diver's Leap

    We haven't yet. I'm unsure of what equation to use which would apply. That equation and the W=force x distance are the only ones I can find in the book. Is there another equation I could use? thanks!
