We've seen that stout tendons in the legs of hopping kangaroos store energy. When a kangaroo lands, much of the kinetic energy of motion is converted to elastic energy as the tendons stretch, returning to kinetic energy when the kangaroo again leaves the ground. If a hopping kangaroo increases its speed, it spends more time in the air with each bounce, but the contact time with the ground stays approximately the same. Explain why you would expect this to be the case. Drag the terms on the left to the appropriate blanks on the right to complete the sentences._ stays the same) [doesn't depend on the amplitude] [decreases) is in inverse proportion with the amplitude is in direct proportion with the amplitude [increases) When in contact with the ground it is like a spring in simple harmonic motion. When kangaroo is hopping faster, the amplitude of the oscillation _____, while the period _____ because it _____, hence the time in contact with the ground
