A 70.0 kg circus performer is fired from a cannon that is elevated at an angle of 40 degrees above the horizontal. The cannon uses strong elastic bands to propel the performer, much in the same way that a slingshot fires a stone. Setting up for this stunt involves stretching the bands by 3.00 m from their unstrained length. At the point where the performer flies free of the bands, his height above the floor is the same as the height of the net into which he is shot. He takes 2.14 s to travel the horizontal distance of 26.8 m between this pint and the net. Ignore friction and air resistance and determine the effective spring constant of the firing mechanism.
A 77.1-kg circus performer is fired from a cannon that is elevated at an angle of 52.1° above the horizontal. The cannon uses strong
elastic bands to propel the performer, much in the same way that a slingshot fires a stone. Setting up for this stunt involves stretching
the bands by 2.62 m from their unstrained length. At the point where the performer flies free of the bands, his height above the floor is
the same as that of the net into which he is shot. He takes 2.30 s to travel the horizontal distance of 20.1 m between this point and the
net. Ignore friction and air resistance and determine the effective spring constant of the firing mechanism.

elastic bands to propel the performer, much in the same way that a slingshot fires a stone. Setting up for this stunt involves stretching
the bands by 3.58 m from their unstrained length. At the point where the performer flies free of the bands, his height above the floor is
the same as that of the net into which he is shot. He takes 2.16 s to travel the horizontal distance of 20.5 m between this point and the

- An inclined plane of angle = 20.0 has a spring of force constant k = 500 N/m fastened securely at the bottom so that the spring is parallel to the surface as shown in Figure P6.61. A block of mass m = 2.50 kg is placed on the plane at a distance d = 0.300 m from the spring. From this position, the block is projected downward toward the spring with speed v = 0.750 m/s. By what distance is the spring compressed when the block momentarily comes to rest?arrow_forwardA block is placed on top of a vertical spring, and the spring compresses. Figure P8.24 depicts a moment in time when the spring is compressed by an amount h. a. To calculate the change in the gravitational and elastic potential energies, what must be included in the system? b. Find an expression for the change in the systems potential energy in terms of the parameters shown in Figure P8.24. c. If m = 0.865 kg and k = 125 N/m, find the change in the systems potential energy when the blocks displacement is h = 0.0650 m, relative to its initial position.

- A very light and flexible rope is 40 cm long and is at one end attached to the ceiling. When we hang a 100 gram weight on its other end, the rope is extended by 6.0 cm. The weight is then pulled vertically down so that the ropes length is 80 cm, and then we let go of it. How fast does the weight fly into the ceiling?arrow_forwardYour answer is partially correct. A 68.3-kg circus performer is fired from a cannon that is elevated at an angle of 52.6° above the horizontal. The cannon uses strong elastic bands to propel the performer, much in the same way that a slingshot fires a stone. Setting up for this stunt involves stretching the bands by 2.00 m from their unstrained length. At the point where the performer flies free of the bands, his height above the floor is the same as that of the net into which he is shot. He takes 2.38 s to travel the horizontal distance of 21.3 m between this point and the net. Ignore friction and air resistance and determine the effective spring constant of the firing mechanism.
