The Slingshot is a ride for two people. It consists of a single passenger cage, two towers, and two elastic bands. Potential energy is stored in the elastic bands and the passenger cage is released. On the way up, this potential energy in the elastic bands is converted into the kinetic energy of the cage. At the maximum height of the ride, the energy has been converted into gravitational potential energy of the cage. The slingshot has two towers of height h = 71 m. The towers are a distance d = 31 m apart. Each elastic band has an unstretched length of L0 = 42 m and a spring constant of k = 295 N/m. The total mass of the passengers and cage is m = 395 kg. The car is pulled down to the ground in the middle of the two towers.
A 70.0 kg man jumping from a window lands in an elevated fire rescue net 11.0 m below the window. He momentarily stops when he has stretched the net by 1.50 m. Assuming that mechanical energy is conserved during this process and that the net functions like an ideal spring, find the elastic potential energy of the net when it is stretched by 1.50 m.
Tom has built a large slingshot, but it is not working quite right. He thinks he can model the slingshot like an ideal spring with a spring constant of 35.0 N/m. When he pulls the slingshot back 0.375 m from a nonstretched position, it just does not launch its payload as far as he wants. His physics professor "helps" by telling him to aim for an elastic potential energy of 17.0 J. Tom decides he just needs elastic bands with a higher spring constant. By what factor does Tom need to increase the spring constant to hit his potential energy goal? factor of spring constant increase: During a follow-up conversation, Tom's physics professor suggests that he should leave the slingshot alone and try pulling the slingshot back further without changing the spring constant. How many times further than before must Tom pull the slingshot back to hit the potential energy goal with the original spring constant? factor of pullback distance increase: In which of the two scenarios does Tom have to pull…
