Explanation Given data: The height at which the divers dive to the water surface ( y ) is 35 m. Formula used: From the given data, the system is an isolated system. Refer to the equation (10.20) in the textbook, and modify the expression for conservation of energy for the given system as follows. K i + ( U g ) i = K f + ( U g ) f + Δ E th (1) Here, K i is the initial kinetic energy of the divers, ( U g ) i is the initial gravitational potential energy of the divers, K f is the final kinetic energy of the divers, ( U g ) f is the final gravitational potential energy of the divers, Δ E th is the change in thermal energy. Refer to the equation (10.8) in the textbook, and write the expression for kinetic energy of the divers as follows. K = 1 2 m v 2 (2) Here, m is the mass of the divers, and v is the velocity (speed) of the divers. Refer to the equation (10.14) in the textbook, and write the expression for gravitational potential energy as follows. U g = m g y (3) Here, g is the acceleration due to the gravity, which is 9.8 m s 2 , and y is the height at which the divers dive to the water surface. Explanation: Consider the mass of the divers as m . From the given data, the diver is initially at rest in the perch. Therefore, the initial speed of the diver is 0 m s . v i = 0 m s The initial height is given as 35 m. y i = 35 m As the diver reaches to the surface of the water, the height become 0 m. Therefore, the final height is 0 m. y f = 0 m As there frictional force is not given in the system, the thermal energy during the diver’s dive from perch to the water surface is 0 J. Δ E th = 0 J Calculation of initial kinetic energy: Modify the expression in equation (2) to find the initial kinetic energy of the diver as follows. K i = 1 2 m ( v i ) 2 Substitute m for m , and 0 m s for v i , K i = 1 2 ( m ) ( 0 m s ) 2 = 0 J Calculation of final kinetic energy: Modify the expression in equation (2) to find the final kinetic energy of the diver as follows. K f = 1 2 m ( v f ) 2 Calculation of initial gravitational potential energy: Modify the expression in equation (3) to find the initial gravitational potential energy of the diver as follows. ( U g ) i = m g y i Substitute m for m , 9.8 m s 2 for g , and 35 m for y i , ( U g ) i = ( m ) ( 9.8 m s 2 ) ( 35 m ) = 343 m m 2 s 2 Calculation of final gravitational potential energy: Modify the expression in equation (3) to find the final gravitational potential energy of the diver as follows

Slink, from Toy Story, is a slinky dog whose middle section is a giant spring with a spring constant of 10.9 N/m. Woody, who has a mass of 0.412 kg, grabs onto the tail end of Slink and steps off the bed (as shown in figure A) with no initial velocity and reaches the floor right as his velocity hits zero again (as shown in figure C).

The character Min Min from Arms was a DLC character added to Super Smash Bros. Min Min’s arms are large springs, with a spring constant of 8.53 ⋅ 10^3 N/m, which she uses to punch and fling away her opponents. Min Min pushes her spring arm against Steve, who is not moving, compressing it 1.20 m as shown in figure A. Steve has a mass of 81.6 kg. Assuming she uses only the spring to launch Steve, how fast is Steve moving when the spring is no longer compressed? As Steve goes flying away he goes over the edge of the level, as shown in figure C. What is the magnitude of Steve’s velocity when he is 2.00 m below where he started?
