The jumping gait of the kangaroo is efficient because energy is stored in the stretch of stout tendons in the legs; the kangaroo

literally bounces with each stride. We can model the bouncing of a kangaroo as the bouncing of a mass on a spring. A 70 kg kangaroo hits the ground, the tendons stretch to a maximum length, and the rebound causes the kangaroo to leave the ground approximately 0.10 s after its feet first touch.
a. Modeling this as the motion of a mass on a spring, what is the period of the motion?
b. Given the kangaroo mass and the period you’ve calculated, what is the spring constant?
c. If the kangaroo speeds up, it must bounce higher and farther with each stride, and so must store more energy in each bounce. How does this affect the time and the amplitude of each bounce?

Answer:

the period T of whole motion should be twice the value for half at he bottom so T is 0.2sec.

w is angular frequency

formula:2π/T

now k is spring constant

F/R-->mw²

putting values:70*(2π/0.2)²

=4.9x10⁶

so we can say that SHM is not affected by the amplitude of the bounce.

nignag [31]

Answer:

a) x = 40 t , y = 39 t ,  z = 6 + 32 t - 16 t ²,   b)     x = 80 feet ,  y = 78 feet , the ball came into the field  

Explanation:

a) This is a projectile launch exercise, where in the x and y axes there is no acceleration and in the z axis the acceleration of the acceleration of gravity, let's write the equations of motion in each axis

Since the cast is in the center of the field, let's place the coordinate system

          x₀ = 0

          y₀ = 0

          z₀ = 6 feet

x-axis (towards end zone,  GOAL zone)

         x = xo + v₀ₓ t

        x = 40 t

y-axis (field width)

        y = y₀ + v_{oy} t

        y = 39 t

z axis (vertical)

        z = z₀ + v_{oz} t - ½ g t²

        z = 6 + 32 t - ½ 32 t²

        z = 6 + 32 t - 16 t ²

b) The player catches the ball at the same height as it came out, so we can find the time it takes to arrive

          z = 6

          6 = 6 + 32 t - 16 t²

          (t - 2)t  = 0

           t=0 s

           t= 2 s

The ball position

          x = 40 2

          x = 80 feet

           

          y = 39 2

          y = 78 feet

the dimensions of the field from the coordinate system (center of the field) are

             x_total = 150 feet

             y _total = 80 feet

so we can see that the ball came into the field

A missile is fired from a jet flying horizontally at Mach 1 (1100 ft/s). The missile has a horizontal acceleration of 1000 ft/s2
nadezda [96]
Answer: 11,100 ft/s^2

1) Constant acceleration=> uniformly accelerated motion.

2)  Formula for uniformly accelerated motion:

Vf = Vo + at

3) Data:

Vo = 1,100 ft/s
a = 1,000 ft/s^2
t = 10.0 s

4) Solution:

Vf = 1,100 ft/s + 1,000 ft/s^2 * 10.0 s = 1,100 ft/s + 10,000 ft/s

Vf = 11,100 ft/s
