Question

lets compare someone falling and coming to rest onto a trampoline to someone falling onto the ground. in which scenario, if either, does the person take a longer time to come to rest?

Explanation:

When a person falls onto a trampoline, the trampoline stretches gradually, increasing the duration over which the person's motion is brought to a stop. In contrast, the ground is rigid, so the person comes to rest almost instantaneously. This longer time to stop occurs because the trampoline's deformation extends the deceleration period.

Answer:

The person takes a longer time to come to rest when falling onto a trampoline.
