A circus diver drops from a high pole into water far below.When he is half-way down

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When the diver is halfway down, his potential energy has halved because potential energy is directly proportional to height. At the same time, the lost potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy, making the gained kinetic energy equal to half his initial potential energy. Therefore, at this point, his kinetic and potential energies are equal, making all of the given statements correct.
