A 75 kg bungee jumper jumps off with zero initial speed from a high cliff with a bungee cord tied to her ankle. At some time dur

ing the jump, the bungee cord starts stretching. The lowest point in her jump where the bungee cord is at maximum stretch is a total drop of 195 m . What is the elastic potential energy stored in the bungee cord at the instant she reaches this lowest point?

Answer:

The elastic potential energy PE=143.47kJ

Explanation:

This problem bothers on the potential energy stored in a material.

Given data

Mass of the bungee jumper

m= 75kg

Height of jump down the cliff h=195m

We know that the elastic potential energy stored is same as the potential energy of the bungee jumper

PE= 1/2kx²= mgh

Assuming g is 9.81m/s²

PE= 75*9.81*195

PE= 143471.25J

PE=143.47kJ

What is potential energy?

Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of it position.

In a liquid with a density of 1500 kg/m3, longitudinal waves with a frequency of 410 Hz are found to have a wavelength of 7.80 m
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The bulk modulus of the liquid is 1.534 x 10¹⁰ N/m²

Explanation:

Given;

density of the liquid, ρ = 1500 kg/m³

frequency of the wave, F = 410 Hz

wavelength of the sound, λ = 7.80 m

The speed of the wave is calculated as;

v = Fλ

v = 410 x 7.8

v = 3,198 m/s

The bulk modulus of the liquid is calculated as;

V = \sqrt{\frac{B}{\rho} } \\\\V^2 = \frac{B}{\rho}\\\\B = V^2 \rho\\\\B = (3,198 \ m/s)^2 \times 1500 \ kg/m^3\\\\B = 1.534 \ \times 10^{10} \ N/m^2

Therefore, the bulk modulus of the liquid is 1.534 x 10¹⁰ N/m²

Multiply 5.036×102m by 0.078×10−1, taking into account significant figures.
Anika [276]

Answer : The significant digit is 6

Explanation :

Multiply 5.036\times10^{2}m by 0.078\times10^{-1}m

Now, on multiplying

5.036\times10^{2}m \times0.078\times10^{-1}m = 0.392808 \times10^{1}\ m^{2}

5.036\times10^{2}m \times0.078\times10^{-1}m = 0.0392808\ m^{2}

Now, the significant digit is 6.

Hence, this is the required solution.

A body with initial velocity 8.0 m/s moves along a straight line with constant acceleration and travels
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

<em>(a) The average velocity is 16 m/s</em>

<em>(b) The acceleration is 0.4 m/s^2</em>

<em>(c) The final velocity is 24 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Constant Acceleration Motion</u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity (or the speed) of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

Being a the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time, final speed is calculated as follows:

v_f=v_o+at\qquad\qquad [1]

The distance traveled by the object is given by:

\displaystyle x=v_o.t+\frac{a.t^2}{2}\qquad\qquad [2]

(a) The average velocity is defined as the total distance traveled divided by the time taken to travel that distance.

We know the distance is x=640 m and the time taken t= 40 s, thus:

\displaystyle \bar v=\frac{x}{t}=\frac{640}{40}=16

The average velocity is 16 m/s

Using the equation [1] we can solve for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

(c) From [2] we can solve for a:

\displaystyle a= 2\frac{x-v_ot}{t^2}

Since vo=8 m/s, x=640 m, t=40 s:

\displaystyle a= 2\frac{640-8\cdot 40}{40^2}=0.4

The acceleration is 0.4 m/s^2

(b) The final velocity is calculated by [1]:

v_f=8+0.4\cdot 40

v_f=8+16=24

The final velocity is 24 m/s
