When is the most energy stored in a trampoline?
The stored energy, also called potential energy, is at its maximum when the springs are stretched to the maximum and just about to propel the child upwards into the air. When the springs accelerate the child, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the child is thrown upwards. When the child is at the top of the jump, the child has the potential energy, and this is converted back into kinetic energy as the child falls. Energy is lost in friction and in air resistance, so the child's muscles have to supply some energy to keep the process going. Luckily the child has a very sophisticated inbuilt dynamic positioning system that allows him or her to keep on jumping continuously without even thinking about it.
Who can you tell demonstrates energy being released to heat?

What kind of energy conversion is a child shivering in the cold?

What situation does not involve Potential energy being changed into kinetic energy?
1) Kinetic energy being turned back into potential energy. Look at a child on a swing. As the swing lowers (and they speed up), that's potential to kinetic. As the swing reaches its peak and stops, that kinetic to potential. 2) Burning is chemical energy being turned into heat and light. 3) In the Sun, nuclear fusion releases energy into heat and light.
