While jumping on a trampoline you calculate that at the highest peak of your jump you have 900 joules of gravitational potential

energy. What will be your kinetic energy just before landing back on the trampoline?

Jumping on a trampoline is a classic example of conservation of energy, from potential into kinetic. It also shows Hooke's laws and the spring constant. Furthermore, it verifies and illustrates each of Newton's three laws of motion.

<u>Explanation</u>

When we jump on a trampoline, our body has kinetic energy that changes over time. Our kinetic energy is greatest, just before we hit the trampoline on the way down and when you leave the trampoline surface on the way up. Our kinetic energy is 0 when you reach the height of your jump and begin to descend and when are on the trampoline, about to propel upwards.

Potential energy changes along with kinetic energy. At any time, your total energy is equal to your potential energy plus your kinetic energy. As we go up, the kinetic energy converts into potential energy.

Hooke's law is another form of potential energy. Just as the trampoline is about to propel us up, your kinetic energy is 0 but your potential energy is maximized, even though we are at a minimum height. This is because our potential energy is related to the spring constant and Hooke's Law.

A bird flew 16 km west in 5 hours , then flew 20 km east in 6 hours . What was the birds velocity?
LenaWriter [7]
During that period of time, the bird's displacement was 4 km east. So its velocity was (4km east)/(11hrs). That's 0.36 km/hour east. (rounded)

A marshmallow is dropped from a 5.71 meter high pedestrian bridge, and 0.921 seconds later, it lands right on the head of an uns
Natalka [10]

let the height of the person with marshmallow on her head be "h"

consider the motion of the marshmallow after it is dropped from bridge.

Y₀ = initial position of the marshmallow above the ground = 5.71 m

Y = final position of marshmallow on head of person = h

v₀ = initial velocity of the marshmallow = 0 m/s

a = acceleration due to gravity = - 9.8 m/s²

t = time of travel for marshmallow = 0.921 sec

Using the kinematics equation

Y = Y₀ + v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

inserting the values

h = 5.71 + 0 (0.921) + (0.5) (-9.8) (0.921)²

h = 5.71 - 4.16

h = 1.55 m

Two machines do thae same may have different power why
marissa [1.9K]

The quantity work has to do with a force causing a displacement. Work has nothing to do with the amount of time that this force acts to cause the displacement. Sometimes, the work is done very quickly and other times the work is done rather slowly. For example, a rock climber takes an abnormally long time to elevate her body up a few meters along the side of a cliff. On the other hand, a trail hiker (who selects the easier path up the mountain) might elevate her body a few meters in a short amount of time. The two people might do the same amount of work, yet the hiker does the work in considerably less time than the rock climber. The quantity that has to do with the rate at which a certain amount of work is done is known as the power. The hiker has a greater power rating than the rock climber.

Power is the rate at which work is done. It is the work/time ratio. Mathematically, it is computed using the following equation.


Power = Work / time


or


P = W / t
