Having successfully survived his first bungee jump, Ron is hanging at rest from the end of the bunjee cord. "I wonder what the spring constant of this bungee cord is?" he asks himself. So he decides to perform an experiment. He pulls himself up about 75cm and lets go. As he begins to bob up and down, he times his bounces and finds that he completes 4 oscillations in 20 seconds. He knows his mass is 75 kg.
a. What is the period of his motion?
b. What is the frequency of his motion?
c. What total distance dows he travel in 20 seconds?
d. What is the spring constant of the bunjee cord?
Astronauts in space cannot weigh themselves by standing on a bathroom scale. Instead, they determine their mass by oscillating on a large spring. Suppose an astronaut attaches one end of a large spring (spring constant 240 N/m) to her belt, and the other end to a hook on the wall. A fellow astronaut then pulls her back 17.0 cm and releases her. The period of her ensuing motion is 3.15 s. What is her mass? What maximum acceleration does she experience?
A ball with a mass of 240 g is tied to a light string that has a length of 2.80 m. The end of the string is tied to a hook, and the ball hangs motionless below the hook. Keeping the string taut, you move
the ball back and up until it is a vertical distance of 1.08 m above its equilibrium point. You then release the ball from rest, and it oscillates back and forth, pendulum style. As usual, we will neglect air
resistance. Use g = 9.80 m/s2.
(a) What is the highest speed the ball achieves in its subsequent motion?
m/s
(b) What is the maximum height the ball reaches in its subsequent motion (measured from its equilibrium position)?
(c) When the ball passes through the equilibrium point for the first time, what is the magnitude of the tension in the string?
N
