Answer:

11.78meters

Explanation:

Given data

Mass m = 100kg

Length of cord= 10m

Spring constant k= 35N/m

At the greatest vertical distance, the spring potential energy is equal to the gravitational potential energy

That is

Us=Ug

Us= 1/2kx^2

Ug= mgh

1/2kx^2= mgh

0.5*35*10^2= 100*9.81*h

0.5*35*100=981h

1750=981h

h= 1750/981

h= 1.78

Hence the bungee jumper will reach 1.78+10= 11.78meters below the surface of the bridge

Answer:

X=74.7

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass m=100kg

Length l=10m

Spring constant \mu=35N/m

Generally the equation for potential energy of mass is mathematically given by

 P.E_m=mgh

Since

 P.E_m=P.E_s

Where

 P.E_s =potential energy of spring

Therefore

m*g*(x+10) = 0.5*k*\mu^2

100*9.8*(x+10) = 0.5*35*\mu^2

980*(x+10) = 17.5*\mu^2

980*x+9800 = 17.5*\mu^2

 17.5*\mu^2 - 980*\mu - 9800 = 0

Comparing the equation above with standard quadratic equation

 17.5*\mu^2 - 980*\mu - 9800 = 0

 ax^2+bx+c=0

Giving

  a=17.5\\  b=-980\\  c=-9800

Solving Quadratic equation the roots of the equation is given as

 \mu_1=64.66

 \mu_2=-8.661

Since

\mu can not be -ve

Therefore

The vertical distance attained by the bungee jumper is given as

 X=\mu+l

 X=64.7+10

 X=74.7

A ball is tied to a 1.3 m string and whirled in a circular motion with a force of 220 N. If its speed is 6 m/s, (a) what is it c
Studentka2010 [4]

The centripetal acceleration is 27.692 kg m / s^2.

The mass of the ball is 7.94 kg.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The curved path of an object experience a force known as centripetal force. Its direction is always pointing to the motion of the body towards the center of curvature of the path.

            centripetal force Fc = (mass * square of velocity) / radius

where m represents mass in kg

          v represents  velocity

          r represents radius in a meter.

  • The acceleration experienced in uniform circular motion is called as centripetal acceleration.It always points toward the center of rotation and is perpendicular to the linear velocity.
  •                     centripetal acceleration = v^2 / r

                                                             = (6 * 6) / 1.3

                                                             = 27.692 kg m / s^2.

 The mass of the ball is found by using the centripetal force formula,

  •                               centripetal force Fc = m v^2 / r

                                                      m = (F * r) / v^2

                                                          =  (220 * 1.3) / 36

                           mass of the ball  m = 7.94 kg.

Sam's job at the amusement park is to slow down and bring to a stop the boats in the log ride. You may want to review ( pages 29
hjlf
The work that Sam should do in order to stop is the boat is the same as that of the kinetic energy of the object in order to counter its motion. Kinetic energy is calculated through the equation,
                           KE = 0.5mv²
where KE is kinetic energy, m is mass, and v is the velocity.
Substituting,
                         KE = 0.5(1200kg)(1.2 m/s)²
                            <em>KE = 864 J</em>

Your laundry basket Please 22 is in your room is 3.0 M above you on the second floor it takes you 6.0 seconds to carry the laund
Rainbow [258]

Power = (work done) / (time to do the work)

Work done = (force to lift the object) x (distance lifted)

In this question, the force is the (weight of the basket)+(your weight).

Work done = (weight of basket+you) x (3 meters)

Time to do the work = 6 seconds.

Power = (weights x 3 meters) / (6 seconds)

<em>Power = (1/2)·(weight of the basket+you, in Newtons) watts</em>

Three different objects, all with different masses, are initially at rest at the bottom of a set of steps. Each step is of unifo
fgiga [73]

The definition of gravitational potential energy would gravitate allows to find the answers for the energy of each object on the highest rung of the ladder are:

 a) expression for gravitational potential energy is  U_p = m g \ \Delta y

 b) Energy value

        * Body 1    U_p = 82 J

        * Body 2   U_p = 38.6 J

        * Body  3  18.5 J

The gravitational potential energy is a configuration energy that represents the amount of work that the system can do for a given configuration, its expression is

           U_p = m g \  \Delta y

Where U_p is the gravitational potential energy, m the mass of the body and Δy the difference in height.

In this case it indicates that the minimum height is at the bottom and is equal to zero, the steps of a ladder have a height of approximately y = 15 cm = 0.15 m

They indicate the mass of the bodies are m₁ = 3.10 kg, the mass of the body 2 m₂ = 1.46 kg , the mass of the third object is not observed, suppose it is m₃ = 0.7 kg.

They indicate that the body is placed on the last step, suppose it is a standard 18-step ladder, therefore the total height is

          y = # _ steps    y_each step

          y = 18   0.15

          y = 2.70 m

the gravitational potential energy to the capacity of the body is

body 1

              U_p = m₁ g Δy₁

              U_p = 3.10  9.8 (2.70 -0)

               U_p = 82 J

body 2

              U_p = 1.46 9.8 ( 2.7-0)

              U_p = 38.6 J

body  3

             U_pUp = 0.70 9.8 (2.7-0)

             U_p = 18.5 J

In conclusion, using the definition of gravitational potential energy, we can find the answers for the energy of each object on the highest rung of the ladder are;

     a) expression for gravitational potential energy is  U_p = m g \ \Delta y

     b) Energy value

        * Body 1    U_p = 82.0 J

        * Body 2   U_p = 38.6 J

        * Body  3   U_p = 18.5 J

The acceleration of the cart shown below is represented in the given graph. If a second block is added to the cart, what
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Explanation:

The graph show acceleration and time graph and it shows that the acceleration is constant.

a = 0.4m/s²

When a mass is added to the cart it is expected that the acceleration of the cart to reduce.

From newton law

F = ma

a = F/m

So, acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass, so as the mass increases the acceleration reduces.

In this question we are not given the information about the mass added but from the option given, we are going to chose any option that is less than the original acceleration of the cart before the mass was added (0.4m/s²). So, we are going to choose 0.27m/s².

We cannot chose 0m/s², the only time the acceleration will be zero is when the mass added is infinite (∞).

Then, a = F/∞ = 0m/s². So, since the mass added is finite. then, it cannot be zero.
