Answer:

elastic energy

Explanation:

When a gymnast falls on a trampoline from a height, after coming in contact with the trampoline, both the gymnast and the trampoline start to move down due to the elastic property of the trampoline.

During this stretching of the trampoline there comes a maximum point up to which the trampoline is stretched. At this point, both the kinetic energy and the gravitational potential energy of the gymnast are zero due to zero speed and zero height, respectively.

The only energy stored in the gymnast's body at this point is the elastic potential energy due to stretching of the trampoline. Hence,the correct option is:

<u>elastic energy</u>

What is power?
hammer [34]
We can define power as the rate of doing work, it is the work done in unit time. The SI unit of power is Watt (W) which is joules per second (J/s). Sometimes the power of motor vehicles and other machines are given in terms of Horsepower (hp) which is approximately equal to 745.7 watts.


Power is the rate at which a force is applied to an object for example.current wire

The pressure in Arabian sea is much bigger than near the surface?<br> please don't scam
sashaice [31]

Answer:

In general, the annual sea surface temperatures(SSTs) in the Bay of Bengal(BOB) are higher than the Arabian sea(AS). because, there are two main reasons for higher SST in the Bay of Bengal than the Arabian Sea. they are 1. stratification, 2.strong mixing

stratification is nothing but a phenomenon which stratifies(layers) the sea water when different density water(fresh water, rain water) add into the sea water. So the stratification in the bay of Bengal is comparatively high than the Arabian sea due to the high river discharge and precipitation in the BOB than the AS. the mixing process over the Arabian sea is higher than the Bay of Bengal due to the prevailing of strong winds over the AS (because of the presence of the mountains of east Africa) than Bay of Bengal (because of the winds over the BOB are sluggish in nature then the AS). But generally winds over the sea mixes easily the normal sea water than stratified/stabilized sea water column. That's why less mixing will takes place over the surface of BOB than the AS. So due to the presence of less mixing over the surface of the Bay of Bengal than the Arabian sea, the SST values over the Arabian sea are always lower than the Bay of Bengal. that's why the Arabian sea is colder than the Bay of Bengal.

The base of a hexagonal prism has an apothem measuring 10 inches and an area of 346.41 square inches. the prism is 12 inches tal
tigry1 [53]

The approximate lateral area of the prism is determined as 831 square inches.

<h3>What is lateral area of the hexagonal prism?</h3>

The lateral area of the hexagonal prism is calculated as follows;

LA = PH

where;

  • P is perimeter of the prism
  • H is height

A = ¹/₂Pa

where;

  • a is apothem = 10 inches
  • A is base area = 346.41 in²

346.41 = ¹/₂(10)P

346.41 = 5P

P = 346.41/5

P = 69.282 inches

LA = PH

LA = 69.282 x 12

LA = 831.38 in²

The mass of a moving object increases, but its speed stays the same. What happens to the kinetic energy of the object as a resul
ozzi
The correct answer is 
B It increases.

In fact, the kinetic energy of a moving object is given by
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where m is the mass of the object and v is its speed. We see that the kinetic energy is proportional to the mass and proportional to the square of the speed: in this problem, the speed of the object remains the same, while its mass increases, therefore the kinetic energy will increase as well.
