12. Health Warning: This is a difficult question so proceed at your own risk. Just for fun, two 150-lb engineering students A and B intend to jump off the bridge from rest using an elastic cord (bungee cord) having a stiffness k = 80 lb/ft. They wish to just reach the surface of the river, when A, attached to the cord, lets go of B at the instant they touch the water. Determine the proper unstretched length of the cord to do the stunt, and calculate the maximum acceleration of student A. 120 ft B

An electric motor M is used to reel in cable and hoist a bicycle into the ceiling space of a garage. Pulleys are fastened to the bicycle frame with hooks at locations A and B, and the motor can reel in cable at a steady rate of 20 in./sec. At this rate, how long will it take to hoist the bicycle 7.9 feet into the air? Assume that the bicycle remains level.
A tether ball of mass m is attached to a vertical pole by a rope of length L. Determine the angle the rope makes with the pole (0) as an implicit function of the speed of the ball (v), m, L, and g.

Gayle runs at a speed of 4.10 m/s and dives on a sled, initially at rest on the top of a frictionless snow-covered hill. After she has descended a vertical distance of 5.00 m, her brother, who is initially at rest, hops on her back and together they continue down the hill. What is their speed at the bottom of the hill if the total vertical drop is 15.0 m? Gayle's mass is 46.5 kg, the sled has a mass of 5.25 kg and her brother has a mass of 30.0 kg.

ASK TOUR TEACHER PRACTICE ANOTHER As shown in the figure below, cars #1 and #2 are sliding across a horizontal frictionless surface. The cars are equipped with a coupling arrangement similar to the one on railroad cars. Car #1 overtakes car #2 and they have a totally inelastic collision and become coupled together. You know the mass of each car; m₁ = 13.5 kg and m₂ = 45.0 kg. In addition, you are provided with the following graph, which shows the momentum of car #1 before, during and after the collision. p (kg. m/s) 100 40 Determine the velocity (in m/s) of car #2 before the collision. t(s)
