Concept explainers
BIO Tendons. Tendons are strong elastic fibers that attach muscles to hones. To a reasonable approximation, they obey Hooke’s law. In laboratory tests on a particular tendon, it was found that, when a 250-g object was hung from it, the tendon stretched 1.23 cm. (a) Find the force constant of this tendon in N/m. (b) Because of its thickness, the maximum tension this tendon can support without rupturing is 138 N. By how much can the tendon stretch without rupturing and how much energy is stored in it at that point?

- An ornament of mass 40.6 g is attached to a vertical ideal spring with a force constant (spring constant) of 45.6 N/m. The ornament is then lowered very slowly until the spring stops stretching. How much does the spring stretch?arrow_forwardA gymnast of mass 52.0 kg is jumping on a trampoline. She jumps so that her feet reach maximum height of 2.49 m above the trampoline and, when she lands, her feet stretch the trampoline 68.0 cm down. How far does the trampoline stretch when she stands on it at rest? Assume that the trampoline is described by Hooke's law when it is stretched. Give your answer in cm.arrow_forwardAn 8.0-cm-long spring is attached to the ceiling. When a 2.3 kg mass is hung from it, the spring stretches to a length of 16 cm. How long is the spring when a 3.0 kg mass is suspended from it? y=arrow_forward
- Consider an ideal spring which obeys Hooke's Law perfectly. When a force of 3 N is applied to the spring, the spring stretches by 2.4 cm. How much does it stretch by, when a force of 4.2N is applied? O The spring stretches by 3.4 cm when a force of 4.2 N is applied. O The spring stretches by 1.4 cm when a force of 4.2 N is applied. O The spring stretches by 1.9 cm when a force of 4.2 N is applied. The spring stretches by 1.0 cm when a force of 4.2 N is applied. The spring stretches by 3.8 cm when a force of 4.2 N is applied.arrow_forwardA muscle cell in the biceps is 23 cm long and contains 1500 myofibrils arranged in parallel to each other. each myofibril is made up of many sarcomeres, organized in series, that behave as springs. A relaxed sarcomere is 5 μm long. When contracted, the cell shortens to half its length and develops a force of 33 mN. Each of those structures, the cell, myofibril, and sarcomere, can be modeled as a spring.When we shiver in the cold, our muscles oscillate at a frequency of 13 Hz and with an amplitude of 5 cm.

- To measure the static friction coefficient between a 1.40-kg block and a vertical wall, a spring (k = 770 N/m) is attached to the block, is pushed on the end in a direction perpendicular to the wall until the block does not slip downward (see figure). If the spring is compressed by 0.048 m, what is the coefficient of static friction?arrow_forwardA ride at an amusement park attaches people to a bungee cord, pulls them straight down to the ground, and then releases them into the air. When they are pulled to the ground, the bungee cord (which has a stiffness constant of 35 N/m) is stretched 100 m beyond its unloaded length. What restraining force is required to hold a man with a mass of 100 kg to the ground just before he is released? (Recall that g = 9.8 m/s2)arrow_forwardA bungee cord is rated at 545N/m. The jump is off a bridge above a river. Unstretched, the bungee cord is 68.0 m long. A 72.0 kg person jumps. They fall till and the cord begins to stretch. Find the amount by which cord has stretched when the person’s speed is 14.0 m/s.arrow_forward
