A gymnast falls from a height onto a trampoline. For a moment, both the gymnast’s kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy are zero. How is the gymnast’s mechanical energy stored for that moment? Question 12 options: rest energy chemical energy elastic energy thermal energy

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:

elastic energy

your answer would be fusion

current and voltage can both be different in different parts of a circuit so it matters where you place the ammeter and voltmete
