So yes, the trampoline and the person apply equal and opposite forces on each other, leading to conserved momentum? If momentum is conserved, ultimately, how come the person stops bouncing?
Homework Statement
Is Momentum of a person bouncing on a trampoline conserved?
Homework Equations
p=mv
conservation of momentum equation
The Attempt at a Solution
Please explain in detail (if possible). Thanks!
Thank you! Can you give me any relevant equations to this situation? And, how does conservation of energy and/or conservation of momentum come into play?
Hi--
I'm doing an end of year project on the physics of trampolines. Anyone who has ever trampolined before knows that you can "double bounce" a person, such that one person bounces right before the other, thus launching the second bouncer higher into the air. In order to do a physics experiment...
