A bungee cord can stretch, but it is never compressed. When thedistance between the two ends of the cord is less than its unstre

tched lengthL0, the cord folds and its tension is zero. For simplicity, neglect the cord’s ownweight and inertia as well as the air drag on the ball and the cord. A bungee cord has lengthL0 = 33 m when unstretched; when it’s stretched to L > L0, thecord’s tension obeys Hooke’s law with "spring" constant 39 N/m. To test the cord’sreliability, one end is tied to a high bridge of height 94 m above the surface of a river) and the other end is tiedto a steel ball of mass75 kg. The ball is dropped off the bridge with zero initial speed.Fortunately, the cord works and the ball stops in the air a fewmeters before it hits the water — and then the cord pulls itback up.The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 . Calculate theball’s height above the water’s surface at this lowest point of its trajectory. What is the tension of the bungee cord when the ballis at its lowest point?

Answer:

a) 58.83 m b) 2262 N

Explanation:

The cord force constant K = 39 N/m, initial length of the cord L₀ = 33 m,

new length of the cord after the ball was just before the ball was pulled back L₁ = d + L₀ where d is the extension of the cord in meters

Weight of the ball = m g where m is the mass of the ball and g is acceleration due to gravity in m/s² = 75 × 9.8 = 735 N

loss of potential energy = equal to gain in elastic potential energy by the cord

loss in potential energy = mgh = 735 × ( d + L₀)

and the elastic potential gain by the cord = 1/2 × K ×d²

735(d + 33) = 0.5×39×d²

735(d + 33) = 19.5 d²

735 d + 24255 = 19.5 d²

rearrange the equation

-19.5 d² + 735 d + 24255 = 0

multiply both side of the equation with -1

19.5 d²  - 735 d - 24255 = 0

solve the equation using  quadratic formula

-b ± √(b² - 4ac) / 2a

where a = 19.5, b = -735, c = -24255

substitute this values into the formula

- (-735) ±√((-735²) - (4×19.5×-24255)) / (2×19.5)

735±√(540225 + 1891890) / (39)

735 ± √(2432115) / 39

735 ± 1559.5 / 39

(735+ 1559.5) / 39 or (735 - 1559.5) / 39

58.83 m or -21.1 m

the new length = 33 m+ 58.83 m = 91.83

                        or

the new length = 33 m + (-21) = 12

using the positive value

the ball's height above the water = 94 - 91.83 = 2.17 m

b) Tension in the cord = Kd using hooke's law

T = 39 × 58 = 2262 N

Your friends sit in a sled in the snow. If you apply a force pf 75 N to them, they have an acceleration of 0.9 m/s ^ 2. What is
Elza [17]

Answer:

Mass of the sled in the snow 83.33 kg.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given that,  

Force applied to move the sled in the snow (F) = 75N

\text { Acceleration }(a)=0.9 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}

We know that

Newton's second law of motion is  

\text { Force }=\text { mass } \times \text { acceleration }

F = ma (Or "force" is equal to "mass" times "acceleration".)

So if we move this around we can isolate mass and get mass

\text { Mass }=\frac{\text { force }}{\text { accelearation }}

\mathrm{M}=\frac{75}{0.9}

M = 83.33 kg

Mass of the sled in the snow <u>83.33 kg.</u>

A Carnot heat engine has an efficiency of 0.400. If it operates between a deep lake with a constant temperature of 298.0k and a
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

496.7 K

Explanation:

The efficiency of a Carnot engine is given by the equation:

\eta = 1 - \frac{T_H}{T_L}

where:

T_H is the temperature of the hot reservoir

T_C is the temperature of the cold reservoir

For the engine in the problem, we know that

\eta = 0.400 is the efficiency

T_C = 298.0 K is the temperature of the cold reservoir

Solving for T_H, we find:

\frac{T_C}{T_H}=1-\eta\\T_H = \frac{T_C}{1-\eta} =\frac{298.0}{1-0.400}=496.7 K
