Textbook Question
Chapter P.2, Problem 7P
The following passages and associated questions are based on the material of Part II.
Big Air
A new generation of pogo sticks lets a rider bounce more than 2 meters off the ground by using elastic bands to store energy. When the pogo’s plunger hits the ground, the elastic bands stretch as the pogo and rider come to rest. At the low point of the bounce, the stretched bands start to contract, pushing out the plunger and launching the rider into the air. For a total mass of 80 kg (rider plus pogo), a stretch of 0.40 m launches a rider 2.0 m above the starting point.
Suppose a much smaller rider (total mass of rider plus pogo of 40 kg) mechanically stretched the elastic bands of the pogo by 0.40 m, then got on the pogo and released the bands. How high would this unwise rider go?
A. 8.0 m
B. 6.0 m
C. 4.0 m
D. 3.0 m

please help explain these to me.. I don't understand it though. Thanks
topic: Hooke's Law of Elasticity
1) What happens when a material is deformed? Why?
2) Why do some objects return to their original size and shape when loaded? Why do some materials do not return to their original form when unloaded?
PHysics
ONLY question 2 b)
so what I would like you to do is read the questions and read the feedback and fix my answers thats all
here is the question :
Here is the feedback :
You still did not take into consideration that the combined masses are moving when the spring is compressed. Find speed of combined mass at maximum compression using Momentum equation PTI = PTF and then use Energy Equations to solve for the spring constant. Ek1 + Ek2 = EkT + EE Where EE is the elastic energy stored in the spring. Then use EE = 0.5kx2 to solve for k
here is my answer : fix it correctly and give me the final answer :
An object, weighing
260
pound-force
[lbf],
is dropped on the Earth. You may ignore air friction. The object's velocity as the object hits the ground is
65
feet per second [ft/s].
Part 2
How much energy, in units of joules [J], does the object have just before hitting the ground? State your answer using the appropriate SI prefix such that one, two, or three digits appear to the left of the decimal.

( The simulation shows the classic physics situation of a monkey and hunter. In this case, the hunter is trying to tranquilize the monkey, so the monkey can be relocated to a better habitat. The monkey is clever—when the tranquilizer dart (in blue) leaves the gun, the monkey (in purple) lets go of the tree branch, and starts to fall straight down. Note that there is a net (not shown) at the bottom to catch the monkey, so the monkey won't get hurt.)arrow_forwardA roller-coaster car has a mass of 500kg when fully loaded with passengers.
