Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When a man jumps off a diving board, he ____
A
loses potential energy
B
gains heat energy
C
gains potential energy
D
loses kinetic energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Once he jumps off the springboard we see he gets additional energy from the springboard and falls down under action of gravity g . Due to decrease of height above the ground level Gravitational potential energy decreases and gets converted in to his kinetic energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -A: Because the diver is high above the water, he has the potential to fall toward Earth because of gravity. This gives him potential energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Standing on the top of the diving board, gives the divers some gravitational potential energy. This potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, while the diver jumps off. High the height of the diving board, high the potential energy. And more will be converted to Kinetic Energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -So, when the diver stands at the top of the diving board, it’s their gravitational potential energy, which is then converted into kinetic energy when they jump off the board.
