Who is Hooke?
Robert Hooke was an English naturalist, architect, and polymath. Hooke played an important role in the birth of Science in the 17th century with both experimental and theoretical work. However, he had a rival, Isaac Newton.
What is Hooke's law?
Hooke's law deals with springs and equilibrium. A trampoline is basically an elastic disc that is connected to several springs. As you land on the trampoline, the springs and the trampoline surface stretches as a result of the force of your body landing on it. Hooke's law states that the springs will work to return to equilibrium. In other words, the springs will pull back against the weight of your body as you land. The magnitude of this force is equal to that which you exert on the trampoline when you land. Hooke's law is stated in the following equation: F = -kx where F is a force, k is the spring constant and x is the displacement of the spring. Hooke's law is merely another form of potential energy. Just as the trampoline is about to propel you up, your kinetic energy is 0, but your potential energy is maximized, even though you are at a minimum height. This is because your potential energy is related to the spring constant and Hooke's Law.
What is the conversion of energy?
CPE from person -> KE from the jump -> EPE from the trampoline -> KE from the jump again
What is the Elastic Potential Energy Formula?
In order to find the formula for elastic potential energy of a spring, we need to look at Hooke's law, which states that the force needed to stretch a spring is proportional to the displacement of the spring. Mathematically this is expressed as F = kx, where x is the displacement and k is the sprint constant.
What is the law of conservation?
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it can only be transformed from one form to another.
