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

Answer:

Follows are the soplution to this question:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given scenario it would be like a fluid in a simple harmonic in contact with the earth. Whenever a cheetah hops quicker, oscillatory amplitude rises, while the duration stays the same since it does not depend on frequency, which mostly means that time will be the same if you're in contact with the substrate.
