40 POINTS!! A bungee jumper who is about to jump has her energy stored entirely as gravitational potential energy. After jumping, she bounces up and down on the elastic bungee cord. What has happened to her initial gravitational potential energy when she reaches the bottom of this motion the first time after she jumps?
A. Most of her initial energy has been converted back to gravitational potential energy. B. Most of her initial energy has been converted to kinetic energy.
C. Most of her initial energy has been converted to potential energy stored in the bungee cord.
D. Most of her initial energy has been depleted due to friction and air resistance.

Emmy kicks a soccer ball up at an angle of 45° over a level field. she watches the ball's trajectory and notices that it lands, two seconds after being kicked, about 20 m away to the north. assume that air resistance is negligible, and plot the horizontal and vertical components of the ball's velocity as a function of time. consider only the time that the ball is in the air, after being kicked but before landing. take "north" and "up" as the positive ‑ and ‑directions, respectively, and use ≈10 m/s2 for the downward acceleration due to gravity.
