Physics

To calculate the average power exerted by gravity, we need to follow these steps:

Calculate the work done by gravity

The work done by gravity is equal to the change in gravitational potential energy as the diver falls. The formula for gravitational potential energy is:

Where:

is the mass of the diver,

is the acceleration due to gravity,

is the height from which the diver falls.

Substitute the values:
