suppose a 51 kg bungee jumper steps off the royal gorge bridge, in colorado. The bridge is situated 321 m above the arkansas riv

er. the bungee cords spring constant is 32 N/m, the cords relaxed length is 104m and its length is 179m when the jumpers stops falling. what is the total potential energy associated with the jumper at the end of his fall? assume that the bungee cord has negligible mass

The total potential energy associated with the jumper at the end of his fall is 90,000 J.

The given parameters;

  • <em>mass of the jumper, m = 51 kg</em>
  • <em>height of the bridge. h  = 321 m</em>
  • <em>spring constant of the cord, k = 32 N/m</em>
  • <em>extension of the cord, x = 179 m - 104 m = 75 m</em>

The total potential energy associated with the jumper at the end of his fall is calculated as follows;

U = ¹/₂kx² + mgΔh

where;

<em>Δh is the change in height after falling </em>

U = ¹/₂(32)(75)²  + (51)(9.8)(0)

U = 90,000 J

Thus, the total potential energy associated with the jumper at the end of his fall is 90,000 J.

Which best describes a difference between laser light and regular light?
Inga [223]
The basic difference is that the ordinary sources are incoherent that means that the discrete frequencies merge up to give an intermediate between the maximum and minimum frequencies. While the laser is coherent containing the single frequency with maximum amplitude. thus travelling far.

A positively charged object is brought near but not in contact with the top of an uncharged gold leaf electroscope. The experime
Olin [163]

Answer:

The leaves of the electroscope move further apart.

Explanation:

This is what happens; when the positive object is brought near the top, negative charges migrating from the gold leaves to the top. This is because the negative charges in the gold are attracted by the positive charge. Thus, it leaves behind a net positive charge on the leaves, though the scope remains neutral overall. To that effect, the leaves repel each other and move apart. If a finger touches the top of the electroscope at the moment when the positive object remains near the top, it basically grounds the electroscope and thus the net positive charge in the leaves flows to the ground through the finger. However, the positive object continues to "hold" negative charges in place at the top. Ar this moment the gold leaves have lost their net positive charge, so they no longer repel, and they move closer together. If the positive object is moved away, the negative charges at the top are no longer attracted to the top, and they redistribute themselves throughout the electroscope, moving into the leaves and charging them negatively.

Thus, the leaves move apart from each other again and we now have a negatively charged electroscope. If a negatively charged object is now brought close to the top, but without touching, the negative charges already in the electroscope will be repelled down toward the leaves, thereby making them more negative, causing them to repel more, and hence move even further apart.

So, the leaves move further apart.

A sound wave has a frequency of 500 Hz and a wavelength of 1.8 m. What is the wave speed of the sound wave? Question 1 options:
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

The wave speed of the sound wave is 900 \frac{m}{s}.

Explanation:

Wavelength is the minimum distance between two successive points on the wave that are in the same state of vibration. It is expressed in units of length (m).

Frequency is the number of vibrations that occur in a unit of time. Its unit is s⁻¹ or hertz (Hz).

The propagation velocity is the speed with which the wave propagates in the medium, that is, it is the magnitude that measures the speed at which the wave disturbance propagates along its displacement. Relate the wavelength (λ) and the frequency (f) inversely proportional using the following equation: v = f * λ.

In this case:

  • f= 500 Hz
  • λ= 1.8 m

Replacing:

v= 500 Hz* 1.8 m

v= 900 \frac{m}{s}

<u><em>The wave speed of the sound wave is 900 </em></u>\frac{m}{s}<u><em>.</em></u>
