Can energy to be both potential energy and kinetic energy?
Yes but not both at the same time. All energy is conserved, therefore energy before equals energy after. For example jumping from a ten metre diving board you have gravitational potential energy as you are fulling gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
Are there any things that human beings should be careful NOT to do in order to help you function to your best potential?
Yes, jumping off a tall building onto a hard surface is inadvisable.
Why energy is needed by our body?
What is energy, first of all? Energy comes in many forms, starting from a potential energy to outer energy, such as putting on electronic devices and making them work. For a potential energy, you can think of it as moving jumping, talking....ect, ect. So, in conclusion, you can say that you need energy for doing all the stuffs above. Thanks
Can a jumping crowd cause an earthquake?
no
Is quantum jumping BS?
Obviously
Conduction along a myelinated axon is called?
It is called saltatory conduction. This describes the "jumping" of an action potential from node to node on a myelinated axon.
What energy is created into jumping off a trampoline?
Gravitational Potential
Example of elastic potential energy?
Bunjee jumping Catapult
What is the energy transfer while Jumping?
It is the conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy.
What does potential energy have to do with bungee jumping?
Potential energy is all about height. The higher the object the more potential energy. So the higher you start the farther you will stretch the cord
Which part of mechanical energy does someone have most while jumping on a trampoline?
Potential Energy
Multiple sclerosis impairs which type of impulse propagation?
Saltatory conduction uses myelinated sheaths around the axon to aide in the efficiency that an action potential passes down the nerve's axon by jumping between nodes of ranvier. The word saltatory is taken from the french word "saltare" meaning leap. Saltatory conduction saves time and improves energy efficiency in the nervous system. In some neurological disorders such as Multiple Sclerosis, demyelination of axons occur, resulting in a block of conduction of the action potential.
A person jumping off niagara falls energy turns into what?
Potential energy turns into kinetic energy.
Compare the foreleg and the jumping leg in term of structure and use?
The foreleg is rigid and short which is used for landing and spreading out force. The hind leg is long and springed which allows a lot of potential energy for jumping.
What are the physics of jumping?
Physics can be used in many ways to describe jumping. One can examine the kinematics of jumping by looking at the acceleration, 9.8 m/s^2, that acts on you while you are in mid-air. Also, you could examine the potential energy you have when you jump or effects of air resistance.
What is the gravitational potential energy of a 80 kilogram man who is 4 meters in the air while jumping on a trampoline?
Use the formula: PE = mgh (potential energy = mass x gravity x height). Use 9.8 for gravity. The answer is in joules, and it makes no difference whether he's rising, falling, jumping, or sleeping.
What happens to potential energy when jumping out a plane?
Elevational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy and heat in the air as air friction sets a terminal velocity. If a parachute is not used, some additional energy is lost with the associated screaming...
