3 A spring is fixed at one end and attached to a cube at the other end.
The cube rests on a smooth, horizontal surface.

cube

The spring is initially compressed. As it is released, the cube accelerates.

What energy changes takes place during this process?
A elastic potential energy → gravitational potential energy
B elastic potential energy → kinetic energy
C kinetic energy → elastic potential energy
D chemical potential energy → kinetic energy

2 An athlete of mass 60 kg is bouncing up and down on a trampoline.

At one moment, the athlete is stationary on the stretched surface on the trampoline.

Figure below shows the athlete at this moment.

(a) Energy is stored due to stretching of the surface of the trampoline.

Give one other example of object which has the same energy stores.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………….. [1]

(b) The stretched surface of the trampoline begins to contract. The athlete is pushed vertically

upwards and she accelerates. At time t, when her upwards velocity is 6.0 m/s, she loses contact

with the surface.

(i) Calculate her kinetic energy at time t.

kinetic energy = ……………………………. [2]

(ii) Calculate the maximum possible distance she can travel upwards after time t.

gain in height = ……………………………. [3]

(iii) State and explain if in reality the athlete can travel at the distance calculated in (b)(ii).
