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.

What energy transformation occurs when jumping on a trampoline?
When jumping on a trampoline, the potential energy stored in your muscles is transformed into kinetic energy as you leave the trampoline surface. As you reach the apex of your jump, the kinetic energy is converted back into potential energy due to your change in height. This cycle of energy transformation continues as you bounce up and down on the trampoline.
What energy conversion occurs when you bounce on a trampoline?
When you bounce on a trampoline, the energy conversion that occurs is from potential energy (stored energy when you are at the highest point of the bounce) to kinetic energy (energy of motion as you descend and ascend). This back and forth conversion between potential and kinetic energy allows you to bounce on the trampoline.
What kind of energy conversions taking place when bouncing trampoline?
When bouncing on a trampoline, the potential energy of the person is converted into kinetic energy as they descend towards the trampoline. Upon contact, this kinetic energy is momentarily stored in the trampoline material as potential energy before being transferred back into kinetic energy as the person rebounds back up.
Describe the conversions between potential and kinetic energy that occur when you jump on a trampoline?
The energy for muscle contractions ultimately comes from chemical reactions in the body that convert stored chemical potential energy into kinetic energy of the muscles, and subsequently of the jump. However, not all of that chemical energy is successfully converted into kinetic energy. Some is dissipated as heat, and a significant amount is lost into the ground.
Which part of mechanical energy does someone have most while jumping on a trampoline?
When someone is jumping on a trampoline, they primarily have potential energy at the highest point of their jump when they are at their maximum height. This potential energy is then converted to kinetic energy as they descend back down towards the trampoline.

What makes a trampoline boncy?
The 'bounce' of a trampoline is generated by the movement of the trampoline springs, situated around the frame of the trampoline and connected to the trampoline bed. The more trampoline springs that a trampoline has, the better bounce the trampoline will generate. The quality and effectiveness of a trampolines' bounce is also impacted by the amount of movement there is on the bed, more weight again generates more bounce.

What part of mechanical energy does the girl is jumping on the trampoline?
If we start with the girl stationary then first she jumps which is the transformation of chemical potential energy to kinetic energy by her leg muscles. As she gains height that kinetic energy (ke) is converted into gravitational potential energy (gpe) which is at a maximum at the top of her jump. As she falls back down again the gpe is converted back into ke. As she lands on the trampoline the ke is stored as potential energy in the springs of the trampoline. As she starts to bounce back up again the springs potential energy is converted into ke and the process repeats.
When you jump down on a trampoline and fly up in the air as a result?
This is due to the stored elastic potential energy in the trampoline mat and springs when you push down on it with your feet. When you release this energy by jumping, it propels you upwards, creating the bouncing effect. Your mass and gravity play a role in determining how high you can bounce.
Which gives a better workout a treadmill or a trampoline?
Treadmill. On a treadmill you power your body, on a trampoline you are using the stored elasticity of the trampoline to power your body. Time to strap on he Reeboks and get running!
Can kinetic energy be converted into elastic energy?
Certainly. That's exactly what happens when you fall into the middle of a trampoline. As the stretchy fabric absorbs your kinetic energy, you slow down, and you eventually stop when all of your kinetic energy is stored in the trampoline as elastic energy. Then the elastic energy transfers back and becomes your kinetic energy, as you go sailing again.
How does a person on a trampoline change from potential to kentic energy and back again?
When a person jumps on a trampoline, they convert their potential energy (stored energy while at rest) into kinetic energy (energy of motion) as they bounce up. As they reach the top of the bounce, their kinetic energy is at its maximum and potential energy is at its minimum. On the way down, this process reverses as potential energy increases while kinetic energy decreases, until they reach the bottom of the bounce where the cycle repeats.
Is a trampoline a waste of thermal energy?
A trampoline itself does not generate or waste thermal energy. However, when people jump on a trampoline, some energy is converted to heat due to friction between the trampoline material and the person jumping. This is a very small amount of thermal energy in comparison to the movement energy expended.
