Radio waves, Middle-C, and halitosis are not forms of light.
Answer:
(a) k = 30.33 N/m
(b) a = 9.8 m/s²
Explanation:
First, we need to find the force acting on the bungee jumper. Since, this is a free fall motion. Therefore, the force must be equal to the weight of jumper:
F = W = mg
F = (65 kg)(9.8 m/s²)
F = 637 N
(a)
Now applying Hooke's Law:
F = k Δx
where,
k = spring constant = ?
Δx = change in length of bungee cord = 33 m - 12 m = 21 m
Therefore,
637 N = k(21 m)
k = 637 N/21 m
<u>k = 30.33 N/m</u>
<u></u>
(b)
Since, this is free fall motion. Thus, the maximum acceleration will be the acceleration due to gravity.
a = g
<u>a = 9.8 m/s²</u>
The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by the question is the second choice. The rope will not be broken until the net force acting on it is not equal to zero anymore. I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
