I assume the block plows into the bank of sand with a velocity of 6 m/s and comes to a stop in 2 s.
Your potential energy and mass don't tell what your weight is.
If I walk up from the first floor to the second floor, my weight hasn't
changed even though my potential energy has increased.
Answer:
11.78meters
Explanation:
Given data
Mass m = 100kg
Length of cord= 10m
Spring constant k= 35N/m
At the greatest vertical distance, the spring potential energy is equal to the gravitational potential energy
That is
Us=Ug
Us= 1/2kx^2
Ug= mgh
1/2kx^2= mgh
0.5*35*10^2= 100*9.81*h
0.5*35*100=981h
1750=981h
h= 1750/981
h= 1.78
Hence the bungee jumper will reach 1.78+10= 11.78meters below the surface of the bridge
