Use g=10 N/kg in this assignment.

Question

1. What is the gravitational energy (relative to the unstretched surface of the trampoline) of the 20 kg ball at its apex 2 m above the trampoline?

I got 400 J

2. What is the kinetic energy of the ball just before impacting the trampoline?

I got 0 J

3. At maximum stretch at the bottom of the motion, what is the sum of the elastic and gravitational energy of the ball?

Is it because the sum of elastic and potential energy is equal to the change in gravitational energy from original position?

4. What conclusions can be drawn from the answers above

I'm not too sure what to put as my answer

Answer 1

I never heard of that school subject.
