Chapter 5, Problem 86AP
A daredevil wishes to bungee-jump from a hot-air balloon 65.0 m above a carnival midway. He will use a piece of uniform elastic cord lied to a harness around his body to stop his fall at a point 10.0 m above the ground. Model his body as a particle and the cord as having negligible mass and a tension force described by Hooke's force law. In a preliminary test, hanging at rest from a 5.00-m length of the cord, the jumper finds that his body weight stretches it by 1.50 m. He will drop from rest at the point where the top end of a longer section of the cord is attached to the stationary balloon. (a) What length of cord should he use? (b) What maximum acceleration will he experience?

- A 1.00-kg object slides to the right on a surface having a coefficient of kinetic friction 0.250 (Fig. P7.68a). The object has a speed of vi = 3.00 m/s when it makes contact with a light spring (Fig. P7.68b) that has a force constant of 50.0 N/m. The object comes to rest after the spring has been compressed a distance d (Fig. P7.68c). The object is then forced toward the left by the spring (Fig. P7.68d) and continues to move in that direction beyond the springs unstretched position. Finally, the object comes to rest a distance D to the left of the unstretched spring (Fig. P7.68e). Find (a) the distance of compression d, (b) the speed v at the unstretched position when the object is moving to the left (Fig. P7.68d), and (c) the distance D where the object comes to rest.

What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface?arrow_forwardAt what initial speed should a box of mass m be thrown parallel to the surface of the inclined plane from the lower end of an inclined plane with friction making a 30 degree angle with the horizontal direction so that it can travel 3m on the inclined plane?

- A block of mass m is initially at rest at the top of an inclined plane, which has a height of 4.8 m and makes an angle of θ = 27° with respect to the horizontal. After being released, it is observed to be traveling at v = 0.65 m/s a distance d after the end of the inclined plane as shown.
