5) The maximum energy a bone can absorb without breaking is surprisingly small. For a healthyhuman of mass 60 Kg (132 pounds), experiments show that the leg bone can absorb about 20OJ.For what maximum height could a person jump and land upright on both feet without breakingtheir legs? Assume that all energy is absorbed in leg bones on a rapid landing.

A 58-kg pole vaulter running at 10 m/s vaults over the bar. Her speed when she is above the bar is 1.3 m/s. Neglect air resistance, as well as any energy absorbed by the pole, and determine her altitude as she crosses the bar.
A 58-kg diver is standing on a platform that is 35 meters above the surface of the water. He steps off the platform with zero initial velocity and descends toward the water below. Assuming that no energy is lost to his surroundings, how much kinetic energy (in joules) does the diver have right before he hits the water?
Suppose that the average U.S. household uses 14100 kWh (kilowatt-hours) of energy in a year. If the average rate of energy consumed by the house was instead diverted to lift a 1690 kg car 15.8 m into the air, how long would it take? car: S Using the same rate of energy consumption, how long would it take to lift a loaded Boeing 747 airplane, with a mass of 3.90 x 10° kg, to a cruising altitude of 9.42 km? airplane: S

Assume that the energy content in food can be converted to mechanical energy with 100% efficiency. How many chocolate candy bars (each with 330 kcal) would it take to climb Mount Everest (8850 m)? Assume that the mass of the climber, including equipment, is 127 kg. Round up to the nearest whole number.
Brad tries out a weight-loss plan that involves repeatedly lifting a 44.2-kg barbell from the floor over his head to a height of 2.00 m. If he is able to complete three such lifts per minute, how long will it take for him to lose 0.50 kg of fat? “Burning” 1 g of fat supplies 38.8 kJ to the body; of this, 10.0% can be used by the muscles to lift the barbell. (Ignore the fat “burned” while he lowers the barbell to the floor.)
6. A new event has been proposed for the Winter Olympics. As seen in the figure, an athlete will sprint 100 m, starting from rest, then leap onto a 20 kg bobsled. The person and bobsled will then slide down a 50-m-long ice-covered ramp, sloped at 20°, and into a spring with a carefully calibrated spring constant of 2000 N/m. The athlete who compresses the spring the farthest wins the gold medal. Lisa, whose mass is 40 kg, has been training for this event. She can reach a maximum speed of 12 m/s in the 100 m dash. 20° ww (a) How far will Lisa compress the spring? (b) The Olympic committee has very exact specifications about the shape and angle of the ramp. Is this necessary? What factors about the ramp are important?
I don't know how to work this problem. For part A, it gives the solutions to be Vf=-7.1m/s in the x-direction + 23.5m/s in the y-direction. For part B it gives the answer to be K=-1.15*10^7 J, which calculates to 11.5 MJ of energy lost.
Bugs Bunny (m=32 kg) starts at rest atop a h;=33 m tall hill, and then slides down. After that, Bugs: I.) slides into a swing set at the bottom of the hill, which has a R = 11 m long chain. He swings up and over the bar, with the chain managing to stay taut. (Labelled points A, B & C are at the bottom, side and top of the loop respectively.) II.) continues on flat ground, where he then hits a friction patch which is L=41.25 m long, from which he exits (at labelled point D) at speed vD = 17.98 m/s. III.) slides off a cliff that is hp=17 m tall, into a lake. h, D R Part I: (around the swing set) a.) Sketch in the correct directions of all forces that act on Bugs at each of the points A-C. Note: At point A, Bugs has already lifted his feet off the ground. B
