A bungee jumper with mass 60.0 kg jumps from a high bridge. After reaching his lowest point, he oscillates up and down, hitting

a low point eight more times in 49.0 s. He finally comes to rest 30.0 m below the level of the bridge.
1) Calculate the spring constant of the bungee cord.2) Calculate the unstretched length of the bungee cord.

Answer:

a) Spring constant,k = 63.09 N/m

b) Unstretched length = 20.68 m          

Explanation:

a) Mass of the bungee jumper, M = 60 kg

time for complete oscillation, t = 49 s

Number of oscillations, n = 8

The period of oscillation, T = t/n

T = 49/8

T = 6.125 s

To calculate the spring constant of the bungee cord, use the formula:

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{M}{k} }

6.125 = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{60}{k} } \\6.125/2\pi = \sqrt{\frac{60}{k} }\\0.975^2 = 60/k\\0.951 = 60/k\\k = 60/0.951\\

Spring constant,k = 63.09 N/m

b) The extension in the spring is given by the formula:

x = mg / K

x = (60*9.8)/63.09

x = 9.32 m

extension, x = final length - original length

Original length = Final length - extension

Original length = 30 - 9.32

Original length = 20.68m                                

Unstretched length = 20.68 m

Answer:

1) 10.05 N/m

2) 20.69 m

Explanation:

1) If the jumper completes 8 cycles in 49 seconds, then the period of each cycles is T = 49/8 = 6.125 s

From this info we can calculate the spring constant, treating this as simple harmonic motion k:

T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

\frac{m}{k} = \frac{T^2}{4\pi^2}

k = \frac{4\pi^2 m}{T^2} = \frac{4\pi^2 60}{6.125^2} = 63.14 N/m

2) Let g = 9.8 m/s2. So the jumper weight is F = mg = 60*9.8 = 588 N. With this force the jumper would have stretched the bungee a length of

x = F/k = 588 / 63.14 = 9.31 m

As the jumper is at rest 30m below the bridge and the cord is stretched by 9.31m. Then its original length would be 30 - 9.31 = 20.69 m

Give an example of hypothesis for an experiment and then identify its dependent and independent variables. Write all the steps o
e-lub [12.9K]
An example of a hypothesis for an experiment might be: “A basketball will bounce higher if there is more air it”

Step one would be to make an observation... “hey, my b-ball doesn’t have much air in it, and it isn’t bouncing ver high”

Step two is to form your hypothesis: “A basketball will bounce higher if there is more air it”

Step three is to test your hypothesis: maybe you want to drop the ball from a certain height, deflate it by some amount and then drop it from that same height again, and record how high the ball bounced each time.


Here the independent variable is how much air is in the basketball (what you want to change) and the dependent variable is how high the b-ball will bounce (what will change as a result of the independent variable)

Step four is to record all of your results and step five is to analyze that data. Does your data support your hypothesis? Why or why not?

You should only test one variable at a time because it is easier to tell why the results are how they are; you only have one cause.

Hope this helps!

3. A coil of 100 turns encloses an area of 100 cm2. It is placed at an angle of 700 with a
sasho [114]

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of turns in the coil, N = 100

Area of the coil, A = 100 cm² = 0.01 m²

It is placed at an angle of 70°.

Magnetic field, B = 0.1 Wb/m²

We need to find the magnetic flux through the coil and the emf is induced in the coil after 10⁻³ s.

Magnetic flux is given by :

\phi =BA\cos\theta\\\\\text{For N turns},\\\phi =NBA\cos\theta \\\\\phi=100\times 0.1\times 0.01\times \cos(70)\\\\=0.034\ Wb

So, the magnetic flux through the coil is 0.1 Wb.

Emf induced in the coil is :

\epsilon=\dfrac{-d\phi}{dt}\\\\=\dfrac{0.034}{10^{-3}}\\\\=34\ V

So, 34V of emf is induced in the coil.
