    How Far Will a Bungee Cord Stretch During a Jump?

    I am stumped... very hard question: "A 70.0kg woman does a bungee jump. The length of the bungee cord is 5.00m and it has a spring constant of 122.08 N/m. Assume the gravitational field strength is 9.81 N/kg. a)What is the maximun distance the bungee cord will stretch and how far will the...

    Energy Question - Burning off Breakfast

    thank you for the replys, well it came down to deadline so I assume there was no friction what so ever and i ended up with something like this for a equation: W= F*d W= (9.81m/s^2*70)*d Substituted joules from breakfast as work: 450kj=(9.81m/s^2*70)*d (450kJ)/(9.81m/s^2*70)=d d=655m...

    Energy Question - Burning off Breakfast

    Energy Question -- Burning off Breakfast Im not to good at physics to begin with, and I've been having a lot of trouble with this question: "How many steps does it take to wear off your breakfast?" First of all this question doesn't give you any starting points with variables and such and I...

    How long does it take for a stone thrown from a building to pass a window?

    "Äy = v0t - 0.5gt^2 -69 = 5t - 0.5gt^2 -192 = 10t - 10t^2 t^2 - t - 19.2 = 0 t = 4.9 when the object reaches the top of the window." - you wrote so i really don't get your equation here... how does 0.5gt^2 give you 10t^2... even if you used 10 for gravity you would still only...

    Midterm HELP - On Kinematics and Dynamics

    Hello... well I am just trying to prepare myself for my midterm which is on kinematics (1 and 2 dimensions) and dynamics. I've been trying a lot of problems, some i get some i don't... well anyways I was hoping that you guys could give me some key points and concepts that would be useful for my...

    How long does it take for a stone thrown from a building to pass a window?

    trying to study for a midterm with kinematics 1d 2d and dynamics Heres problem: A stone is thrown vertically downward from the top of a 96m building at a velocity of 5.0m/s. This stone is observed passing by a window that has a height of 2.0m. Assuming that the bottom of the window is 25m...

    Dynamics Problem HELP - Free body diagram

    IM in Phys.20 Got this question for an assignment. Tried it and got stuck. I really need help -------- When golfing, uphill and downhill putts present different levels of difficulty. Suppose a green has a 5.0 degree slope and the force of friction will be 0.10N...
