What is the energy change in high jumping?

In high jumping, the energy change involves the conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy as the athlete runs and jumps over the bar. The athlete's muscles generate the kinetic energy needed to overcome gravity and propel the body upwards. At the peak of the jump, the kinetic energy is converted back into potential energy before the athlete descends.


What energy conversions occur in a pole vaulter?

When the pole vaulter just passes over the bar, he/she is almost stationary, and certainly at the maximum height reached above the ground, so apart from a very small amount of kinetic energy as a result of passing over the bar, all the energy put into the vault is bound up in gravitational potential energy. During the approach, the jumper runs up so has acquired kinetic energy. Then during the vault he/she exerts force on the pole to gain height, and to convert the horizontal kinetic energy into a vertical direction. This force comes from the chemistry of the muscles of the body. So the overall conversion is from kinetic energy plus muscular chemical energy into gravitational potential energy, which is then converted back to kinetic energy on the descent.


Describe how the chemical energy in porridge is converted to the gravitational potential energy in the lifted bar?

When consuming porridge, the chemical energy is converted into kinetic energy within the muscle cells through cellular respiration. As the person lifts the bar, their muscles contract, converting the kinetic energy to mechanical work against the force of gravity. This work done by the muscles results in an increase in the potential energy of the bar as it is lifted.


What does a kinetic energy picture look like?

A kinetic energy picture typically depicts an object in motion, capturing the dynamic energy of the object. It may show arrows or lines indicating the direction and magnitude of the object's motion, as well as the potential energy being converted into kinetic energy. Visual representations like bar graphs or pie charts can also be used to show the distribution of kinetic energy among different components or objects.

Is the food you eat potential or kinetic energy?

The food energy that can be utilized by the eater of the food is chemical potential energy. In a food fight, when the food is propelled through the air, it temporarily acquires some kinetic energy as well, which has nothing to do with its identity as food, and can't be utilized by eating the food, since it must come to rest before the eating commences. ________ All matter is made up of a combination of kinetic and potential energy. The kinetic energy that comprises your food is all the energy of motion of its molecules. The hotter your food, the faster its molecules are moving and the more kinetic energy they posess. Also, as mentioned above, if you throw your food, it will posess bulk kinetic energy. However, the majority of the energy contained within food is potential energy stored within what you could think of as unhappy chemical bonds. When you eat food, your body invests a little energy to break apart these unhappy bonds and makes new, happier bonds between the food molecules and the oxygen you breathe. When these happy bonds form, a large ammount of energy is released. Your body uses this energy for running around and having food fights.


What sport involves transforming gravitational potential energy into elastic energy?

This can happen in many sports. One common example is anything that involves a ball - of the type that can bounce when they fall. In such a ball, when it falls down, gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy; later, when it touches the ground, the kinetic energy is converted into elastic energy. When the ball bounces back, part of this elastic energy (typically, most of it) is converted back into kinetic energy.
