A student working on a school project modeled a trampoline as a spring obeying Hookes law and measured the spring constant of a certain trampoline as 4617 N/m. If a child of mass 27.0 kg compresses the trampoline vertically by a maximum of 0.25 m, while bouncing up and down, what is the childs acceleration at the moment of maximum compression?
Two blocks are connected by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley as in Figure P5.38. The system is released from rest while m2 is on the floor and m1 is a distance h above the floor. (a) Assuming m1 m2, Find an expression for the speed of m1 just as it reaches the floor. (b) Taking m1 = 6.5 kg, m2 = 4.2 kg, and h = 3.2 m, evaluate your answer to part (a), and (c) find the speed of each block when m1 has fallen a distance of 1.6 m. Figure P5.38
A dart is inserted into a spring-loaded dart gun by pushing the spring in by a distance x. For the next loading, the spring is compressed a distance 2x. How much faster does the second dart leave the gun compared with the first? (a) four times as fast (b) two times as fast (c) the same (d) half as fast (e) one-fourth as fast
An object is thrown straight down at a speed of 2.8 from a tall building. After it has fallen for 4.8 seconds, the object will be moving with a speed of about (a) 2.8 (b) -44.24 (c) 49.84 (d) 47.04
A pendulum bob is released from some initial height such that the speed of the bob at the bottom of the swing is 1.3 m/s. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 . What is the initial height of the bob? Answer in units of m.
A 2.0 kg object compresses a spring with a spring constant of 100 N/m by a distance of 8 cm, and then the object is released. Assuming that the object maintains the same acceleration while the spring returns to equilibrium, how fast is the object moving after 1.2 s?
What is the speed of the particle when it reaches x = 24.00 m.
Fleas are agile, wingless insects that feed on the blood of their hosts. Although they are typically 2-3 mmmm long with a mass of 5.1×10−4kg they have an astonishing ability to jump when threatened. Their propulsion, which can briefly produce accelerations more than 100 times that of gravity, comes not from muscles but, in fact, from an elastomeric protein called resilin, which acts as a spring. Given that the typical launch velocity of a flea is about 1 m/sm/s, what total energy must be stored in the resilin just before the flea jumps?

A 2.0-kg mass is attached to a vertical spring. The mass is held in place with the spring relaxed, and then released from rest. As the mass falls, it stretches the spring. If the spring has a force constant of 100 N/m, how fast is the mass moving after is has descended 3.0 cm? Ignore air resistance. CAn i please get this step by step the answer i got is 1 mv + 1 kx2 − mgx = 0 2 2 r k 2v = 2gx − x = 74 cm/s

A bungee jumper falls for 1.3 s before the bungee cord begins to stretch. Until the jumper has bounced back up to this height , the elastic cord causes the jumper to have an average acceleration upward of 4 m/ c) How long after the bungee cord begins to stretch does the jumper reach the low point of the drop?
