What force (in N) does a trampoline have to apply to a 46.0 kg gymnast to accelerate her straight up at 5.30 m/s2? Note that the

answer is independent of the velocity of the gymnast—she can be moving either up or down, or be stationary. (Enter the magnitude.)

So draw a free body diagram. Let the top be the increasing direction for y and let the bottom be the decreasing direction. All other coordinates are trivial for the problem. You will notice that during the time of impact with the trampoline, there are two forces in the y direction, the weight of the gymnast and the force exerted by the trampoline. The y component of the total force is:

F_{y}=F_{T}-mg

where F_T is the force exerted by the trampoline. According to Newton's Second Law, we have the differential equation:

F_{y}=m\ddot{y}=F_{T}-mg

Dividing both sides by m we get:

\ddot{y}=\frac{F_{T}}{m}-g

which is the acceleration in the y direction. Now solving for F_T we get:

F_{T}=m(\ddot{y}+g)

Now plugging in m=46.0 kg, the acceleration in the y=5.30 m/s^2 and g=9.8 m/s^2, we get

\[F_{T}=694.6 N\] if I am not mistaken.

Hope this helped.

Answer:

The force acting on the trampoline is 694.6 N.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of gymnast, m = 46 kg

Acceleration of the gymnast, a=5.3\ m/s^2 (upward direction)

Let F_{net} is the net force acting on the trampoline, F is the force exerted by the trampoline mg is the weight force acting due to gravity. As the gymnast is accelerating up, so,

F_{net}=F-mg

ma=F-mg

F=mg+ma

F=m(g+a)

F=46\times (9.8+5.3)

F = 694.6 N

So, the force acting on the trampoline is 694.6 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

If the spring constant is doubled, what value does the period have for a mass on a spring? A. The period would double by square
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

The period would decrease by sqrt(2)

Explanation:

The restoring force is given by,

F = -kx

According to Newton's second law of motion,

ma = -kx

ma + kx = 0

The time period is given by,

T =\frac{2\pi }{\omega }

Where \omega is the angular velocity and it is given by,

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

Now if the spring constant is doubled then,

k_{2} = 2k

Thus,

T_{2} =\frac{2\pi }{\sqrt{\frac{2k}{m} } }

\frac{T_{2} }{T} = \frac{\frac{2\pi }{\sqrt{\frac{2k}{m} } }}{\frac{2\pi }{\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } }}

\frac{T_{2} }{T} = \sqrt{\frac{k}{2k} } = \sqrt{\frac{1}{2} }

T_{2} = \frac{T}{\sqrt{2} }

Thus, The period would decrease by sqrt(2).

Hence, option D is correct.

How might you use a rope and pulley to move a wagon up a ramp?
sleet_krkn [62]
You could attach the pulley to a secure object on the top of the ramp, and crank the pulley to bring the wagon up said ramp into a loading bay perhaps, or a track. 

Hope I helped.
