A sky diver plans to bungee jump from a tower 74.0 m above the ground. She plans to use a uniform elastic cord, tied to a harness around
her body, to stop her fall at a point 11.0 m above the water. Model her body as a particle and the cord as having negligible mass and
obeying Hooke's law. In a preliminary test she finds that when hanging at rest from a 5.00 m length of the cord, her body weight stretches
it by 1.25 m. She will drop from rest at the point where the top end of a longer section of the cord is attached to the tower.
(a) What length of cord should she use?
m
(b) What maximum acceleration will she experience?
m/s²
1) A daredevil plans to bungee jump from a balloon 73.0 m above a carnival midway. They will
use a uniform elastic cord tied to a harness around their body, to stop their fall at a point 10.0
m above the ground. Model their body as a particle and the cord as having negligible mass and
obeying Hooke's law. In a preliminary test, hanging at rest from a 5.00 m length of the cord,
they find that their body weight stretches it by 1.35 m. They will drop from rest at the point
where the top end of a longer section of the cord is attached to the stationary balloon. Hint:
To find the K of the actual cord, use the following proportion with the preliminary test cord
(KTest *LTest=KActual*Lactual) where L is the length of the cord.
A daredevil wishes to bungee-jump from a hot-air balloon 64.5 m above a carnival midway. He will use a piece of uniform elastic cord tied to a harness around his body to stop his fall at a point 12.0 m above the ground. Model his body as a particle and the cord as having negligible mass and a tension force described by Hooke's force law. In a preliminary test, hanging at rest from a 5.00-m length of the cord, the jumper finds that his body weight stretches it by 1.65 m. He will drop from rest at the point where the top end of a longer section of the cord is attached to the stationary balloon.
(a) What length of cord should he use? m(b) What maximum acceleration will he experience? m/s2

- An inclined plane of angle = 20.0 has a spring of force constant k = 500 N/m fastened securely at the bottom so that the spring is parallel to the surface as shown in Figure P6.61. A block of mass m = 2.50 kg is placed on the plane at a distance d = 0.300 m from the spring. From this position, the block is projected downward toward the spring with speed v = 0.750 m/s.

- A block falls from a table 6 m high. It lands on an ideal, massless, vertical spring with a force constant of 2.4 kN/m. The spring is initially 25 cm high, but it is compressed to a minimum height of 10 cm before the block is stopped. Find the mass of the block.arrow_forwardCan you help me with this problem?A block with a mass m is initially compressing a spring by x1 on a horizontal floor with friction.

The block is realeased from rest and travels a total distance of D including x1 and has a speed of v. what is the coefficent of kinetic friction between the floor and block?arrow_forwardYou are working with a team that is designing a new roller coaster-type amusement park ride for a major theme park. You are present for the testing of the ride, in which an empty 210 kg car is sent along the entire ride. Near the end of the ride, the car is at near rest at the top of a 103 m tall track. It then enters a final section, rolling down an undulating hill to ground level. The total length of track for this final section from the top to the ground is 250 m. For the first 230 m, a constant friction force of 350 N acts from computer-controlled brakes. For the last 20 m, which is horizontal at ground level, the computer increases the friction force to a value required for the speed to be reduced to zero just as the car arrives at the point on the track at which the passengers exit. (a) Determine the required constant friction force (in N) for the last 20 m for the empty test car.

- The spring force is initially greater than friction, so the block accelerates forward. But eventually the spring force decreases enough so that it is le (decelerates). In a physics lab experiment, one end of a horizontal spring that obeys Hooked's law is attached to a wall. The spring is compressed æo = 0.400 m, and a block with mass 0.300 kg is attached to horizontal surface. Electronic sensors measure the speed v of the block after it has traveled a distance d from its initial position against the compressed spring. The measured The spring is then released, and the block moves along a O The spring force is always less than friction, so the block decelerates all the time. values are listed in the table below.
