Best Answer

At the top of the jump, your speed is changing from upward to downward speed,

so there's an instant there where your speed is zero.

-- Potential energy is max, because your height is max.

-- Kinetic energy is zero, because your speed is zero.

Is a trampoline a waste of thermal energy?

Trampolines are not a waste. They are fun. And the energy you use to jump up and down on a trampoline is chemical rather than thermal, although some heat is generated as a byproduct.


Physics of a trampoline?

The physics in a trampoline are pretty cool I think. You have to bring up Newton's third law that says the an action has an equal and opposite reaction. This is applied as soon as you walk onto a trampoline and you can feel yourself bounce a little. What is happening is that the place that you jump on is stretched taunt and as soon as you step down, you transfer force onto the trampoline. The trampoline then, with its elasticity, flexes down and tries to push back up to its original shape. This pushes the object or person up with the force equal to the one that pushed the trampoline down. This is also the reason that you can jump. What it is, is that the earth is pushing back on your foot instead of the trampoline. This is works on everything from walking to a space ship taking off. It is the reaction that most people realize is happening.


How is long jump measured?

The long jump is measured from the front of the jump board to the closes point in the sand that the jumper touches the sand in a straight line.


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.

How does a trampoline make you jump?

The bounce of a trampoline is impacted by the amount of trampoline springs and the size of the trampoline. The more trampoline springs that are featured on a trampoline, the higher and better bounce the trampoline will produce. Larger trampolines produce better bounces because they are able to have more springs, providing more elasticity to the bed and generating a better bounce.

Why should you not jump off a trampoline?

When you use a trampoline, you keep your legs mostly straight, and the energy of your landing is absorbed by the trampoline. When you jump on the ground, you bend your legs and they absorb the energy of your landing. If you jump down after using the trampoline, you may forget to bend your legs, and do yourself serious harm
