A bungee jumper with mass 65.0 kg jumps from a high bridge. After reaching his lowest point, he oscillates up and down, hitting

a low point eight more times in 38.0 s. After many oscillations, he finally comes to rest 25.0 m below the level of the bridge. Calculate the spring stiffness constant and the unstretched length of the bungee cord.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of a bungee jumper is 65 kg

The time period of the oscillation is 38 s, hitting a low point eight more times.It means its time period is

T=\dfrac{38}{8}\\\\T=4.75\ s

After many oscillations, he finally comes to rest 25.0 m below the level of the bridge.

For an oscillating object, the time period is given by :

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}

k = spring stiffness constant

So,

k=\dfrac{4\pi ^2m}{T^2}\\\\k=\dfrac{4\pi ^2\times 65}{(4.75)^2}\\\\k=113.43\ N/m

When the cord is in air,

mg=kx

x = the extension in the cord

x=\dfrac{mg}{k}\\\\x=\dfrac{65\times 9.8}{113.6}\\\\x=5.6\ m

So, the unstretched length of the bungee cord is equal to 25 m - 5.6 m = 19.4 m

Question 1(Multiple Choice Worth 4 points) The star named Canopus has a declination of approximately –52°. Which of these statem
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

It is 52° below the celestial equator.

Explanation:

The declination is the angle in degrees measured north (+) or south (-) of the an imaginary line called the celestial equator.

The celestial equator is a projection of the earth's equator on the celestial sphere. imaginary

The star named Canopus has a declination of approximately –52°.

Since the angle is negative, this shows that it is south or below the celestial equator and at 52° south of the celestial equator.

Thus, the star named Caponus is 52° below the celestial equator.

Describes earth magnetic field​
Blizzard [7]
Earth's magnetic field, also known as the geomagnetic field, is the magnetic field that extends from the Earth's interior out into space, where it interacts with the solar wind, a stream of charged particles emanating from the Sun.

The ground state energy of an oscillating electron is 1.23 eV. How much energy must be added to the electron to move it to the t
Vikki [24]

Answer:

  • The energy that must be added to the electron to move it to the third excited state is  -1.153 eV
  • The energy that must be added to the electron to move it to the fourth excited state is  -1.181 eV

Explanation:

Given;

Energy of electron in ground state (n = 1 ) = 1.23 eV

E₁ = 1.23 eV

Eₙ = E₁ /n²

where;

E₁ is the energy of the electron in ground state

n is the energy level,

For third excited state, n = 4

E₄ = E₁ /4²

E₄ = (1.23 eV) / 16

E₄ = 0.077 eV

Change in energy level, = E₄ - E₁ = 0.077 eV - 1.23 eV = -1.153 eV

The energy that must be added to the electron to move it to the third excited state is  -1.153 eV

For fourth excited state, n = 5

E₅ = E₁ /5²

E₄ = (1.23 eV) / 25

E₄ = 0.049 eV

Change in energy level, = E₅ - E₁ = 0.049 eV - 1.23 eV = -1.181 eV

The energy that must be added to the electron to move it to the fourth excited state is  -1.181 eV
