a bungee jumper jumps off a bridge and bounces up and down several times, she finally went up to rest 16 m below the bridge from

which she just jumped. if her mass is 50 kg and the spring constant of the bungee cord is 35 n/m how much energy was lost due to air resistance while she was bouncing?

Answer:

E = 4410 J

Explanation:

The net energy change is equal to the change in potential energy

ΔPE = mgΔh = 50(9.8)(16) = 7,840 J

However some of that energy went into the stretch of the spring.

that stretch is found setting the spring force equal to the weight

kx = mg

x = 50(9.8)/35 = 14 m

so energy stored in the spring is

PS = ½kx² = ½(35)(14²) = 3,430

energy lost to friction is 7840 - 3430 = 4,410

A 1425 kg car located at < 266, 0, 0 > m has a momentum of < 46000, 0, 0 > kg·m/s. What is its location 11 s later?
True [87]

Answer:

<621, 0 , 0>

Explanation:

given,

mass of the car ,m = 1425 Kg

location of car = < 266, 0, 0 > m

momentum of the car = < 46000, 0, 0 > kg.m/s

M v_x = 46000

1425 x v_x = 46000

  v_x = 32.28 m/s

  v_y = 0 m/s

  v_z = 0 m/s

Location of the car after 11 s

x = v_x t + 266

x = 32.28 x 11 + 266

x = 621 m

hence, the location of car after 11 s is equal to  <621, 0 , 0>

William Tell shoots an apple from his son's head. The speed of the 102-g arrow just before it strikes the apple is 26.7 m/s, and
xxMikexx [17]

To develop the problem, we require the values concerning the conservation of momentum, specifically as given for collisions.

By definition the conservation of momentum tells us that,m_1V_1+m_2V_2 = (m1+m2)V_f

To find the speed at which the arrow impacts the apple we turn to the equation of time, in which,

t= \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

The linear velocity of an object is given by

V=\frac{X}{t}

Replacing the equation of time we have to,

V_f = \frac{X}{t}\\V_f =\frac{X}{\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}}\\V_f = \frac{6.9}{\sqrt{\frac{2(1.85)}{9.8}}}\\V_f = 11.23m/s

Velocity two is neglected since there is no velocity of said target before the collision, thus,

m_1V_1 = (m1+m2)V_f

Clearing for m_2

m_2 = \frac{m_1V_1}{V_f}-m_1\\m_2 = \frac{(0.102)(26.7)}{11.23}-0.102\\m_2 = 0.1405KG= 140.5g

A 0.50 kg mass is attached to a string 1.0 meter long and moves in a horizontal circle at a rate of 0.5 seconds per revolution.
vesna_86 [32]

(1) First compute the linear speed of the mass. If it completes 1 revolution in 0.5 seconds, then the mass traverses a distance of 2<em>π</em> (1.0 m) ≈ 2<em>π</em> m (the circumference of the circular path), so that its speed is

<em>v</em> = (1/0.5 rev/s) • (2<em>π</em> m/rev) = 4<em>π</em> m/s ≈ 12.57 m/s

Then the centripetal acceleration <em>a</em> is

<em>a</em> = <em>v</em>² / (1.0 m) = 16<em>π</em>² m/s² ≈ 160 m/s²

(where <em>r</em> is the path's radius).

(2) By Newton's second law, the tension in the string is <em>T</em> such that

<em>T</em> = (0.50 kg) <em>a</em> = 8<em>π</em>² N ≈ 79 N

A proton with a velocity in the positive x-direction enters a region where there is a uniform magnetic field B in the positive y
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

Negative z-direction.

Explanation:

We need to determine the direction of the magnetic force. Since the velocity of the proton is in the positive x direction, and the magnetic field is in the positive y direction, we know by the vectorial formula F=q(v\times B) (or, alternatively, with the <em>left hand rule</em>) that the magnetic force points in the positive z-direction (also taking into account that <u>the charge is positive</u>), so the electric field should be in the negative z-direction to balance it.

Hi, I am having some difficulties in solving this question. Could someone please explain this question to me in detail. The thin
aniked [119]

Answer:

a) 3.0×10⁸ m

b) 0 m

Explanation:

Displacement is the distance from the starting position to the final position.

a) In half a year, the Earth travels from one point on the circle to the point on the exact opposite side of the circle (from 0° to 180°).  The distance between the points is the diameter of the circle.

x = 2r

x = 2 (1.5×10⁸ m)

x = 3.0×10⁸ m

b) In a full year, the Earth travels one full revolution, so it ends up back where it started.  The displacement is therefore 0 m.
