An 80.0-kg man jumps from a height of 2.50 m onto a platform mounted on springs. As the springs compress, he pushes the platform

down a maximum distance of 0.240 m below its initial position, and then it rebounds. The platform and springs have negligible mass. What is the man's speed at the instant the depresses the platform 0.120m? If the man just steps gently onto the platform, what maximum distance would he push it down?

Answer:

6.16 m/s

0.0105 m

Explanation:

Let the ground 0 for potential reference be at where the spring is compress 0.24 m. The the man would jump from a height h = 2.5 + 0.24 = 2.74 m from it. We can apply the law of energy conservation knowing that as the man jumps, his potential energy converts to kinetic energy, then finally to elastic energy:

E_p = E_e

mgh = kx^2/2

where m = 80 kg is the man mass, g = 9.81 m/s2 is the gravitational acceleration, h = 2.74 m is the potential distance he travels, k N/m is the spring constant and x = 0.24 is the distance it compresses

80*9.81*2.74 = k0.24^2/2

2150.352 = 0.0288k

k = 74665 N/m

Similarly at the position where it compresses by 0.12 m, it's 0.24 - 0.12 = 0.12 m far from ground 0.

E_p = E_{e2} + E_k + E_{p2}

mgh = kx_2^2 + mv^2/2 + mgh_2

2150.352 = 74665*0.12^2/2 + 80v^2/2 + 80*9.81*0.12

2150.352 = 537.588 + 40v^2 + 94.176

40v^2 = 1518.588

v^2 = 37.9647

v = \sqrt{37.9647} = 6.16 m/s

When he steps gently, then his gravity force would equal to his spring force

mg = kx_3

x_3 = mg/k = 80*9.81/74665 = 0.0105m

A spaceship of frontal area 10 m2 moves through a large dust cloud with a speed of 1 x 106 m/s. The mass density of the dust is
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

The decelerating force is 3\times 10^{- 11}\ N

Solution:

As per the question:

Frontal Area, A = 10\ m^{2}

Speed of the spaceship, v = 1\times 10^{6}\ m/s

Mass density of dust, \rho_{d} = 3\times 10^{- 18}\ kg/m^{3}

Now, to calculate the average decelerating force exerted by the particle:

Mass,\ m = \rho_{d}V                                (1)

Volume, V = A\times v\times t

Thus substituting the value of volume, V in eqn (1):

m = \rho_{d}(Avt)

where

A = Area

v = velocity

t = time

m = \rho_{d}(A\times v\times t)                  (2)

Momentum,\ p = \rho_{d}(Avt)v = \rho_{d}Av^{2}t

From Newton's second law of motion:

F = \frac{dp}{dt}

Thus differentiating w.r.t time 't':

F_{avg} = \frac{d}{dt}(\rho_{d}Av^{2}t) = \rho_{d}Av^{2}

where

F_{avg} = average decelerating force of the particle

Now, substituting suitable values in the above eqn:

F_{avg} = 3\times 10^{- 18}\times 10\times 1\times 10^{6} = 3\times 10^{- 11}\ N

A jogger runs 10.0 blocks do east, 5.0 blocks due South, and another two. Zero blocks do east. Assume all blocks are equal size,
Annette [7]

Jogger moves in three displacements

d1 = 10 blocks East

d2 = 5 blocks South

d3 = 2 blocks East

now we can say

total displacement towards East direction will be

d_x = 10 + 2= 12 blocks

Total displacement towards South

d_y = 5 block

now to find the net displacement we can use vector addition

d = \sqrt{d_x^2 + d_y^2}

d = \sqrt{12^2 + 5^2}

d = 13 blocks

<em>so magnitude of net displacement will be equal to 13 blocks</em>

A system contains a perfectly elastic spring, with an unstretched length of 20 cm and a spring constant of 4 N/cm.
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

a) When its length is 23 cm, the elastic potential energy of the spring is

0.18 J

b) When the stretched length doubles, the potential energy increases by a factor of four to 0.72 J

Explanation:

Hi there!

a) The elastic potential energy (EPE) is calculated using the following equation:

EPE = 1/2 · k · x²

Where:

k = spring constant.

x = stretched lenght.

Let´s calculate the elastic potential energy of the spring when it is stretched 3 cm (0.03 m).

First, let´s convert the spring constant units into N/m:

4 N/cm · 100 cm/m = 400 N/m

EPE = 1/2 · 400 N/m · (0.03 m)²

EPE = 0.18 J

When its length is 23 cm, the elastic potential energy of the spring is 0.18 J

b) Now let´s calculate the elastic potential energy when the spring is stretched 0.06 m:

EPE = 1/2 · 400 N/m · (0.06 m)²

EPE = 0.72 J

When the stretched length doubles, the potential energy increases by a factor of four to 0.72 J

In a car crash, large accelerations of the head can lead to severe injuries or even death. A driver can probably survive an acce
noname [10]

Answer:

14.7 m/s

Explanation:

a = acceleration experienced by driver's head = 50 g = 50 x 9.8 m/s² = 490 m/s²

v₀ = initial speed of the driver = 0 m/s

v = final speed of the driver after 30 ms

t = time interval for which the acceleration is experienced = 30 ms = 0.030 s

Using the equation

v = v₀ + a t

Inserting the values

v = 0 + (490) (0.030)

v = 14.7 m/s

Calculate the amount of hcn that gives the lethal dose in a small laboratory room measuring 14 × 15 × 8.0ft. the density of air
vova2212 [387]
Since we are given the density and volume, then perhaps we can determine the amount in terms of the mass. All we have to do is find the volume in terms of cm³ so that it will cancel out with the cm³ in the density. The conversion is 1 ft = 30.48 cm. The solution is as follows:

V = (14 ft)(15 ft)(8 ft)(30.48 cm/1 ft)³ = 0.0593 cm³

The mass is equal to:
Mass = (0.00118g/cm³)(0.0593 cm³)
Mass = 7 grams of HCN
