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 block with a mass of 2-kg is used to compress a spring x= 60 cm. The spring
constant of the spring k = 200 N/m. After the block released , it slides along a
level surface until comes to the bottom of a incline (0 = 20° ). If µk between the
block and level and in cline surfaces is 0.2 (uk = 0.2 ).
