Answer:
a ) 2.68 m / s
b ) 1.47 m
Explanation:
The jumper will go down with acceleration as long as net force on it becomes zero . Net force of (mg - kx ) will act on it where kx is the restoring force acting in upward direction.
At the time of equilibrium
mg - kx = 0
x = mg / k
= (60 x 9.8 ) / 800
= 0.735 m
At this moment , let its velocity be equal to V
Applying conservation of energy
kinetic energy of jumper + elastic energy of cord = loss of potential energy of the jumper
1/2 m V² + 1/2 k x² = mg x
.5 x 60 x V² + .5 x 800 x .735 x .735 = 60 x 9.8 x .735
30 V² + 216.09 = 432.18
V = 2.68 m / s
b ) At lowest point , kinetic energy is zero and loss of potential energy will be equal to stored elastic energy.
1/2 k x² = mgx
x = 2 m g / k
= (2 x 60 x 9.8) / 800
= 1.47 m
I'm assuming you want the first law of thermodynamics.
The First Law of Thermodynamics states that heat is a form of energy and cannot be created or destroyed. It can, however, be transferred from one location to another and can be converted into other forms of energy.
I believe the answer is b) slowly heating the surface
Since the direction of the force and the direction of the path is perpendicular, the person is not doing any physical work.
