A 80 kg bungee jumper is on a bridge that is 100 meters above a river. Attached to the jumper is a bungee cord that is 50 meters

long. After jumping off of the bridge, the jumper reaches a position that is 10 meters above the river when the bungee cord is at its maximum stretch.
Required:
a. How much energy is stored in the bungee cord at that maximum stretch?
b. What is the spring force constant of the bungee cord?

Answer:

a) 70,560 J

b) 88.2 N/m

Explanation:

The spring potential will equal the change in gravity potential

PS = PE = mgh = 80(9.8)(100 - 10) = 70,560 J

PS = ½kx²

k = 2PS/x² = 2(70560)/(100 - 50 - 10)² = 88.2 N/m

Velocity: You leave on a 549-mi trip in order to attend a meeting that will start 10.8 h after you begin your trip. Along the wa
rewona [7]

Answer:

1.55 h

Explanation:

Let the time to spend over dinner be t.

Since I need to spend 10.8 h for the whole trip, then I have 10.8 - t hours left to drive.

Speed = distance/time

v = \dfrac{d}{10.8-t}

d = v(10.8-t)

The distance is 549 and maximum speed is 65 mi/h.

549 = 65(10.8 - t)

10.8-t = 8.45

t = 10.8 - 8.45 = 1.55 \text{ h}
