While on vacation in the tropical Bahamas, Suzy decides to try out a water jet pack. She places the jet pack on her back (like y

ou would wear a backpack), pushes the buttons in her hands, and water comes shooting out of the bottom of the jetpack, exerting a force on the ocean below. Why does Suzy fly up into the air? In your answer, be sure to state which of Newton's laws of motion this pertains to, describe this law, and explain how it causes Suzy to fly up into the sky.

Answer:

-Suzy flies up into the sky because of the upward force on the jetpack.

-Newton's third law of motion can be ascribed to this.

Explanation:

We know that in momentum, Force is described as the rate of change of momentum. Thus, for us to understand the forces, we will need to establish how the momentum of the water changes.

Suppose the mass flow rate of the water is denoted as M kg/sec and the upward velocity is denoted as v_u.

Now, since water is lying stationary at the sea, the initial momentum of the water will be zero. If every second the boat pumps upwards with mass flow rate M at velocity vu, the momentum per second would be;

Δp = F_water = Mv_u

Now, from Newton's third law the boat/pump would experience a downwards force with the formula:

F_boat = −Mv_u

Furthermore at the jetpack, the water does a reverse turn in direction and is now again directed back down at a different velocity v_d. Therefore the final momentum per second is Mv_d and therefore change in momentum is now;

Δp = M(v_d - v_u)

The velocity v_d will be negative since the boat/pump would experience a downwards force. Thus, the force on the water will be downwards and F_water ≤ 0 .

We will finally use Newton's third law to conclude that the upward force on the jetpack will be;

F_jetpack = M(v_u - v_d)

Thus upward force is what makes Suzy to fly up in the sky.

Hi there!

1.

Hooke's law states that:

F = -kx

k = Spring constant (N/m)

x = DISPLACEMENT from equilibrium (m)

Essentially, the force of a spring is PROPORTIONAL to its spring constant and its displacement from its equilibrium point.

2.

The force of the spring (T) is not proportional to the spring's length (l), but rather its DISPLACEMENT from its equilibrium length. (Δl)

3.

The equilibrium length is where the force of the spring (T) = 0N. Looking at the graph, the line intersects this value at l = 30cm.

4.

We can begin by looking at the given graph.

When the spring force = 4N, the total length of the spring is 35 cm.

Now, the EQUILIBRIUM length is 30 cm, so the total elongation is:

35 - 30 = 5 cm.

5.1.

If the spring elongates by 10 cm, the total length of the spring is:

30 + 10 = 40 cm

According to the graph, a length of 40 cm corresponds to a force of 8N.

5.2.

We can solve for the weight of the ball using the following:

W (weight) = m (mass) · acceleration due to gravity (10N/kg)

Using a summation of forces:

∑F = T - W

The elongation that we are solving for occurs at the equilibrium point (net force = 0 N), so:

0 = T - W

T = W = 8 N

5.3.

0 = T - Mg

T = Mg

Use the prior value of T and gravity to solve:

8 = 10M

m = 0.8 kg
