Chapter 2, Problem 38PQ
During a bungee jump, a student (i) initially moves downward with increasing speed and then (ii) moves downward with decreasing speed, (iii) reaches the turnaround point (that is, the low point of the motion), (iv) moves upward with increasing speed, and finally (v) moves upward with decreasing speed. For each situation (i) through (v), state the direction of the bungee jumper’s velocity and acceleration (that is, upward, downward, or zero). Note: (i), (ii), (iv), and (v) refer to intervals of motion, whereas (iii) refers to an instant.

In a forward punch in karate, the fist begins at rest at the waist and is brought rapidly forward until the arm is fully extended. The speed v(t) of the fist is given in the figure for someone skilled in karate. How far has the fist moved at (a) time t = 50 ms and (b) when the speed of the fist is maximum?
An average person can reach a maximum height of about 60 cm when jumping straight up from a crouched position. During the jump itself, the person’s body from the knees up typically rises at a distance of around 60 cm. To keep the calculations simple and yet get a reasonable result, assume that the entire body rises this much during the jump. (a) With what initial speed does the person leave the ground to reach a height of 60 cm? (b) Draw a free-body diagram of the person during the jump. (c) In terms of this jumper’s weight w, what force does the ground exert on him or her during the jump?
Person A jogs east at a speed of 5 meters per second for 3 minutes, then turns north and jogs at 4
