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

A free body diagram of a brick on an inclined plane is shown below. What is the mechanical advantage of the inclined plane?
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

#See solution for details.

Explanation:

-Mechanical advantage is the ratio of input force to an output force.

-Let the length of the inclined plane be x and the height be y.

-The mechanical advantage is calculated as:

M_{advantage}=\frac{x}{y}

Hence, the inclined plane increases the force being exerted by \frac{x}{y} times.

A distance-time graph indicates that an object travels 2 m in 2 s and then travels another 80 m during the next 40 s. What is th
kumpel [21]
The average speed of the object is given by the ratio between the total distance covered and the total time needed for the motion:
v= \frac{S}{t}

The total distance covered is:
S=2m + 80 m = 82 m
while the total time of the motion is
t=2s+40 s=42 s

Therefore, the average speed of the object is
v= \frac{S}{t}=  \frac{82 m}{42 m}=1.95 m/s

You perform the Hooke's Law experiment and create a plot of Displacement vs. Force. You add a linear fit and find the following
balandron [24]

Answer: 0.192 N/m

Explanation:

Well, generally when a Hooke's Law experiment is performed the plot is in fact Force vs Displacement, being the Force (in units of Newtons) in the Y-axis and the Displacement (in units of meters) in the X-axis.

In addition, if we add a linear fit the resultant equation will be the Line equation of the form:

Y=mX+b

Where m=\frac{Y_{2}-Y_{1}}{X_{2}-X_{1}} is the slope and b is the point where the line intersects the Y-axis.

So, if the equation is:

Y=0.192X+0.011

The slope of this line is 0.192 N/m which is also the spring constant k.
