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.

Which part of mechanical energy does someone have most while jumping on a trampoline?

Potential Energy


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.


What kind of energy conversions taking place when bouncing trampoline?

The same as in bounces in general. The kinetic energy gets stored briefly as elastic energy; this is then again converted to kinetic energy. As usual, some part of the energy is wasted.


What forms of energy are used when you are bouncing on a trampoline?

there are two types of energy used when on a trampoline and they are kinetic and gravitational


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.

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.

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!

What gives a watch energy?

That depends on the watch. In some watches, you wind them, and the energy is stored in a spring. In most modern watches, the energy is stored in a battery.
