  The interior points in a direction that is parallel to the exterior field.
  D)
 
  There is no electric field in the block's interior.
  E)
 
  Not enough information is given to make a statement concerning the elecric field on the block's interior.

Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The jumper's initial kinetic energy is largely converted to a compressional, spring-like potential energy as the pole bends. The pole straightens out, converting its potential energy into gravitational potential energy. As the jumper falls, the gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, and finally, the kinetic energy is converted to compressional potential energy as the cushioning pad on the ground is compressed.
