A bungee cord can stretch, but it is never compressed. When the distance between the two ends of the cord is less than its unstr

etched length L0, the cord folds and its tension is zero. A particular bungee cord has an unstretched length of L0 = 32 m; when it is stretched to L > L0, the cords tension obeys Hooke’s law with "spring" constant 50 N/m. To test the cords reliability, one end is tied to a high bridge of height 91 m (above the surface of a river) and the other end is tied to a steel ball of mass 93 kg, which is dropped off the bridge. The ball stops in the air a few meters before it hits the water — then the cord pulls it back up. Find the ball’s height above the water’s surface at this lowest point of its trajectory. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . For simplicity, neglect the cord’s own weight and inertia as well as any air drag on the ball and the cord. Answer in units of m.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that

g=9.8m/s²

The spring constant is

k=50N/m

The length of the bungee cord is

Lo=32m

Height of bridge which one end of the bungee is tied is 91m

A steel ball of mass 92kg is attached to the other end of the bungee.

The potential energy(Us) of the steel ball before dropped from the bridge is given as

P.E= mgh

P.E= 92×9.8×91

P.E= 82045.6 J

Us= 82045.6 J

Potential energy)(Uc) of the cord is given as

Uc= ½ke²

Where 'e' is the extension

Then the extension is final height extended by cord minus height of cord

e=hf - hi

e=hf - 32

Uc= ½×50×(hf-32)²

Uc=25(hf-32)²

Using conservation of energy,

Then,

The potential energy of free fall equals the potential energy in string

Uc=Us

25(hf-32)²=82045.6

(hf-32)² = 82045.6/25

(hf-32)²=3281.825

Take square root of both sides

√(hf-32)²=√(3281.825)

hf-32=57.29

hf=57.29+32

hf=89.29m

We neglect the negative sign of the root because the string cannot compressed

Without fluid friction, all objects accelerate at?
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Acceleration of gravity=9.8m/s/s

Explanation:

Newton's Second Law-acceleration is proportional to the net force acting on an object.

All objects usually free fall at the same acceleration of 9.8m/s/s-this regardless of their mass. This acceleration is known as acceleration of gravity.

A 2000 g of C 14 is left to decay radioactively the half-life of Corbin 14 is approximately 5700 years what fraction of that sam
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

  1/8

Explanation:

17,100 years is 3 times the half-life of 5,700 years. After each half-life, half remains, so the amount remaining after 3 half-lives is ...

  (1/2)(1/2)(1/2) = 1/8

1/8 of the sample remains after 17,100 years.

An AC generator consists of 20 circular loops of wire with an area of 75 cm2. It has a maximum induced voltage of 24 V. If its a
Monica [59]

Faraday's law allows us to find the magnetic field that produces the emf in the rotating system is:

  • The magnetic field is:  B = 0.424 T

Faraday's law of induction states that when the magnetic flux changes in time, an induced electromotive force is produced.

            fem = - \frac{d \Phi_B }{dt}  

where fem is the induced electromotive force and Ф the flux,

The magnetic flux is the scalar product of the field and the area.

           \Phi_B = B . A = B A  \ cos \theta  

In this case we have several turns, so the expression remains.

           fem = - N B A \ \frac{d cos \theta}{dt}  

Indicate that the turns rotate at a constant frequency, therefore we can use the uniform rotational motion ratio.

           

           θ = w t

We substitute

 

         fem = - N B A \ \frac{d \ cos \ wt}{dt}\\fem =  N B A w sin \ wt

the maximum induced electromotive force occurs when the sine function is ±1

          fem = N B A w

They indicate that the fem = 24 V, the number of the turn is N = 20, the area is A = 75 cm² = 75 10⁻⁴ m² and the frequency f = 60 Hz

Frequency and angular velocity are related.

           w = 2π f

We substitute.

           fem = N B A 2π f

           B = \frac{fem }{2 \pi \ NA \ f}  

Let's calculate.

         B= \frac{24 }{2\pi \ 20 \ 75 \ 10^{-4} 60}B = 24 / 2pi 20 75 10-4 60

         B = 0.424 T

In conclusion, using Faraday's law we can find the magnetic field that produces the emf in the rotating system is:

  • The magnetic field is; B = 0.424 T
