It's your birthday, and you decide to celebrate by bungee-jumping. You stand on a bridge 100 m above a raging river and attach a 30.0-m-long bungee cord to your harness. A bungee cord, for practical purposes, is just a long.spring, and this cord has a spring constant of 40.0 N/m. Assume that your mass is 80 kg. After a long hesitation, you dive off the bridge. How far are you above the water when the cord reaches its maximum elongation?

A 50 g ice cube can slide without friction up and down a 30º slope. The ice cube is pressed against a spring at the bottom of the slope, compressing the spring 13.0 cm. The spring constant is 25 N/m. When the ice cube is released, what distance (in cm) will it travel up the slope above the release point before reversing direction? Use g = 10 N/kg. In your calculations, make sure you convert to consistent units (kg and meters).

4. You decide to take the plunge and go bungee jumping. Being a college student, you do this on the cheap, and buy a bungee cord with a spring constant of k = 500 N/m and a length of L = 8.0 m. You choose a bridge where you tie the end of the cord so you can jump off. Assume that you step off the bridge with zero speed and for safety assume a mass of 100 kg. a. How high must the bridge be so that you can do this fun jump more than once? (Being nervous, you want to be extra safe. What should you assume for air resistance?) b. What is the magnitude and direction of the maximum spring force during your jump?
