... An acrobat (m = 75.0 kg) drops onto a trampoline from a certain height. The trampoline is 1.30 m above the ground. Assuming the trampoline behaves like a spring (k = 12500 N/m), if the acrobat stops moving when he is 0.500 m above the ground, from what height (above the ground) did he start? ...

Hunting oscillation
Hunting oscillation is a self-oscillation, usually unwanted, about an equilibrium. The expression came into use in the 19th century and describes how a system ""hunts"" for equilibrium. The expression is used to describe phenomena in such diverse fields as electronics, aviation, biology, and railway engineering.
