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>

State Archimedes' principle
OlgaM077 [116]

Explanation:

Archimedes' principle states that the upward buoyant force which is exerted on body when immersed  whether fully submerged or partially in the fluid is equal to weight of fluid which body displaces and this force acts in upward direction at center of mass of displaced fluid.

Thus,

<u>Weight of the displaced fluid = Weight of the object - Weight of object in fluid.</u>

ANTONII [103]
<h3>Answer;</h3>

<em><u>Sand Spit or Spit </u></em>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Long shore drift is the process that occurs when a sheet of water moves on and off the beach, in other words the swash and back swash</u></em>, thus capturing and transporting sediment on the beach back out to the sea.
  • <em><u>Sandbar</u></em> is normally formed when the sandspit stretches across a bay and connects the two sides. <em><u>Headland</u></em> is a high piece of land that extends out onto the sea. <em><u>Sea stacks </u></em>on the other hand results from the collapsing of the roof of the arch.
