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.

For this case we have that by definition, the kinetic energy is given by the following formula:

k= \frac {1} {2} * m * v ^ 2

Where:

m: It is the mass

v: It is the velocity

According to the data we have to:

m = 100 \ kg\\v = 9 \frac {m} {s}

Substituting the values we have:

k = \frac {1} {2} * (100) * (9) ^ 2\\k = \frac {1} {2} * (100) * 81\\k = 50 * 81\\k = 4050

finally, the kinetic energy is 4050 \ J

Option A

What is the gravitational potential energy of a 3 kg ball kicked into the air at a height of 5 meters?
sladkih [1.3K]

formula for gravitational P.E =mgh

Solution:-mass=3kg height=5metre and gravity=9.8 or 10m/sec² so P.E=mgh , 3×9.8×5=147kgm²/sec²
