A 100 kg bungee jumper leaps from a bridge. The bungee cord has an un-streched equilibrium length of 10 m, and a spring constant

of 35 N/m. What is the greatest vertical distance below the bridge surface that the bungee jumper will reach? Enter your answer as a positive number in meters, but do not enter units.

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

The moon is smaller and more dense than the Earth, and has less extreme temperature changes.
Lerok [7]
<span>The moon is smaller and more dense than the Earth, and has less extreme temperature changes. The statement presented is True. In terms of temperature, since there is no atmosphere on the moon, then it has less extreme temperature changes. The moon can reach 253 Fahrenheit in the day and -387 Fahrenheit at night.</span>

An interference pattern is produced by light with a wavelength 580 nm from a distant source incident on two identical parallel s
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

1 )

Here

wave length used that is λ = 580 nm

=580 x 10⁻⁹

distance between slit d = .46 mm

= .46 x 10⁻³

Angular position of first order interference maxima

= λ / d radian

= 580 x 10⁻⁹ / .46 x 10⁻³

= 0.126 x 10⁻² radian

2 )

Angular position of second order interference maxima

2 x  0.126 x 10⁻² radian

= 0.252 x 10⁻² radian

3 )

For intensity distribution the formula is

I = I₀ cos²δ/2 ( δ is phase difference of two lights.

For angular position of θ1

δ = .126 x 10⁻² radian

I = I₀ cos².126x 10⁻²/2

= I₀ X .998

For angular position of θ2

I = I₀ cos².126x2x 10⁻²/2

=  I₀ cos².126x 10⁻²
