A 70.0 kg man jumping from a window lands in an elevated fire rescue net 11.0 m below the window. He momentarily stops when he h

as stretched the net by 1.50 m. Assuming that mechanical energy is conserved during this process and that the net functions like an ideal spring, find the elastic potential energy of the net when it is stretched by 1.50 m. (10 pts)

Answer:

70.15 Joule

Explanation:

mass of man, m = 70 kg

intial length, l = 11 m

extension, Δl = 1.5 m

Let K is the spring constant.

In the equilibrium position

mg = K l

70 x 9.8 = K x 11

K = 62.36 N/m

Potential energy stored, U = 0.5 x K x Δl²

U = 0.5 x 62.36 x 1.5 x 1.5

U = 70.15 Joule

it took 3.5 hours for a train to travel the distance between two cities at a velocity of 120 miles per hour. How many miles lie
Art [367]

Given:

Time: 3.5 hrs

Velocity: 120 miles/hr

Now Distance=  Speed × Time

Now Velocity and speed have the same magnitude. Velocity being a vector quantity has a definite direction. Whereas speed is a scalar quantity,it indicates only the magnitude an doesn't define any direction.

Hence Distance = Velocity x time

Distance = 3.5 × 120 = 420 miles
