A daring 51-kg swimmer dives off a 9-m high cliff. At the edge of the cliff her speed is 1.5 m/s. As the swimmer travels through the air, air resistance does -900 J of work on her. The next three questions have to do with this swimmer. Which is the correct conservation of energy expression for this diving swimmer? a. ½kx12 + mgy1 = ½mv22 b. ½mv12 + mgy1 + Wother = ½mv22 c. ½mv12 + ½kx12 = mgy2 d....
