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.
A pogo and rider of 80 kg total mass at the high point of a 2.0 m jump will drop 1.6 m before the pogo plunger touches the ground, slowing to a stop over an additional 0.40 m as the elastic bands stretch. What approximate average force does the pogo stick exert on the ground during the landing?
A. 4000 N
B. 3200 N
C. 1600 N
D. 800 N

- Provide 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_forwardWhat’s the answer to question A B and Carrow_forwardHelp me to solve this question please,thank youarrow_forward

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.
