The following passages and associated questions are based on the material of Part II.
Big Air
A new generation of pogo sticks lets a rider bounce more than 2 meters off the ground by using elastic bands to store energy. When the pogo’s plunger hits the ground, the elastic bands stretch as the pogo and rider come to rest. At the low point of the bounce, the stretched bands start to contract, pushing out the plunger and launching the rider into the air. For a total mass of 80 kg (rider plus pogo), a stretch of 0.40 m launches a rider 2.0 m above the starting point.
Suppose a much smaller rider (total mass of rider plus pogo of 40 kg) mechanically stretched the elastic bands of the pogo by 0.40 m, then got on the pogo and released the bands. How high would this unwise rider go?
A. 8.0 m
B. 6.0 m
C. 4.0 m
D. 3.0 m

- Answer the following questions based in Energy Skate Park Experiment: 1. Calculate the ratio of the mechanical energy at B and mechanical energy at A (EB/EA) and (EC/EB).What do these ratios tell you about the conservation of energy?2. Is the mechanical energy conserved between A and B? Explain3. Is the mechanical energy conserved between B and C? Explainarrow_forwardAs you can see the question only has one question (part A only) What I need you to do is come up with a creative part 2 (a part b question) to extend this question. (do not need to solve question just come up with a part b part for this question) A block of wood is projected up an inclined plane with initial speed up. If the inclination of the plane is 30° and the coefficient of sliding friction = 0.1, find the total time for the block to return to the point of projection.arrow_forwardProvide a complete solution to each problem. 1. Garfield and Jon fought. To patch things up with Jon, Garfield caught a mouse who was eating Jon's favorite cheese in the last few days. While the mouse was sleeping on a rug, Garfield put a cage on it and drag the rug towards Jon with a constant honzontal force of 4N at a constant speed v. If Garfield's force did work at a rate of 8 W, a. How fast was he pulling on the rug? b. How much work did Garfield do in 5 s?arrow_forward
- Number 6arrow_forwardHelp me to solve this question please,thank youarrow_forwardThe air-track carts in (Figure 1) are sliding to the right at 1.0 m/s. The spring between them has a spring constant of 120 N/m and is compressed 4.5 cm. The carts slide past a flame that burns through the string holding them together. What is the speed of 100-g cart? Express your answer with the appropriate units. What is the speed of 300-g cart? Express your answer with the appropriate units.arrow_forward

- I am needing assistance with this question in its entirety ***Please type your answer or write in print, because I have had great difficulty with understanding most handwritten assistance done in cursive or mixed print/cursive.arrow_forwardSituation 1 Kenneth and Lance are twin brothers with exactly the same physical attributes including their mass. They are in the water park to enjoy the summer. In the pool area where they are having fun, there are two slides. Kenneth decided to take the 8-m high slide while Lance tried the slide with a height of 5 m. Who did more work as they use the slides? Explain your answer. A. Complete these two sentences by rewriting them here in the answer section. Before, I thought that WORK is Now, I know that WORK is...arrow_forwardKindly add labels and boxes for the final answer. Thank you.arrow_forward
