It's your birthday, and you decide to celebrate by bungee-jumping. You
stand on a bridge 100 m above a raging river and attach a 30.0-m-long
bungee cord to your harness. A bungee cord, for practical purposes, is just
a long.spring, and this cord has a spring constant of 40.0 N/m. Assume that
your mass is 80 kg. After a long hesitation, you dive off the bridge. How far
are you above the water when the cord reaches its maximum elongation?

The spring is originally compressed by 5.00 cm and has a force constant of 8.00 N/m. When the cannon is fired, the ball moves 15.0 cm through the horizontal barrel of the cannon, and the barrel exerts a constant friction force of 0.032 0 N on the ball.

- Hi please help with what you are able to, thank you so much! A 3.0 kg block slides with a speed of 2.7 m/s on a frictionless horizontal surface until it encounters a spring. If the block compresses the spring 5.6 cm before coming to rest, what is the force constant of the spring? What initial speed should the block have to compress the spring by 1.4 cm?arrow_forwardWhen a car is hit from behind, its passengers undergo sudden forward acceleration, which can cause a severe neck injury known as whiplash. During normal acceleration, the neck muscles play a large role in accelerating the head so that the bones are not injured. But during a very sudden acceleration, the muscles do not react immediately because they are flexible; most of the accelerating force is provided by the neck bones. Experiments have shown that these bones will fracture if they absorb more than 8.0 J of energy. (a) If a car waiting at a stoplight is rear-ended in a collision that lasts for 10.0 ms, what is the greatest speed this car and its driver can reach without breaking neck bones if the driver’s head has a mass of 5.0 kg (which is about right for a 70 kg person)?
