Asked by Charlotte

Real world trampolines lose energy since they are damped springs with much internal friction. How much energy does the sumo wrestler lose on each bounce in this situation?

Information I was given:
mass=400 kg
gravity=10N/kg
k = 12000 N/m

I also know from the previous question each push of the legs drives the sumo wrestler 10 cm higher in the air, and on the first push, the trampoline went from 8 cm below its normal surface plane.

I know how to get the initial energy through mgh, but what about the final energy?
