ANSWER:
Solution 8CQ
Step 1 of 3
This question is based on the concept of change of momentum and energy conservation. When the loss in momentum is greater, the energy lost is also greater after an impact. When the loss in energy is significant in case jumping into water, it will impact the depth reached by a person underwater.
We need to check the reason why diving into water takes a person to a greater depth than belly flopping.
