Professional Application

If you dive into water, you reach greater depths than if you do a belly flop. Explain this difference in depth using the concept of conservation of energy. Explain this difference in depth using what you have learned in this chapter.

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.
