- A bungee jumper plans to bungee jump from a bridge 64.0 m above the ground. He plans to use a uniform elastic cord, tied to a harness around his body, to stop his fall at a point 6.00 m above the water. Model his body as a particle and the cord as having negligible mass and obeying Hooke's law. In a preliminary test he finds that when hanging at rest from a 5.00 m length of the cord, his body weight stretches it by 1.55 m. He will drop from rest at the point where the top end of a longer section of the cord is attached to the bridge.

- As shown in the figure, a 0.580 kg object is pushed against a horizontal spring of negligible mass until the spring is compressed a distance x. The force constant of the spring is 450 N/m. When it is released, the object travels along a frictionless, horizontal surface to point A, the bottom of a vertical circular track of radius R = 1.00 m, and continues to move up the track. The speed of the object at the bottom of the track is VA = 13.0 m/s, and the object experiences an average frictional force of 7.00 N while sliding up the track. R (a) What is x? m A (b) If the object were to reach the top of the track, what would be its speed (in m/s) at that point? m/s (c) Does the object actually reach the top of the track, or does it fall off before reaching the top?

There will be a number of dead-end sidings where single cars can be stored until they are needed. To keep the cars from running off the tracks at the end of the siding, you have designed a combination of two coiled springs as illustrated in the figure below. When a car moves to the right in the figure and strikes the springs, they exert a force to the left on the car to slow it down. Total force (N) 2000 1500 1000 500 Distance (cm) 10 20 30 40 50 60 i Both springs are described by Hooke's law and have spring constants k₁ = 1,900 N/m and k₂ = 2,700 N/m. After the first spring compresses by a distance of d = 30.0 cm, the second spring acts with the first to increase the force to the left on the car in the figure. When the spring with spring constant k₂ compresses by 50.0 cm, the coils of both springs are pressed together, so that the springs can no longer compress. A typical…arrow_forward
