A bungee cord is 30m long and when stretched a distance x itexerts a restoring force of magnitude kx. Your father-in-law (mass95.0kg) stands on a platform 45.0m above the ground , and one endof the cord is tied securley to his ankle and the other end to theplatform. You have promised him that when he steps off he will falla maximum of 41m before the cord stops him. You had several bungeecords to select from and tested them by stretching them out, tyingone end to a tree and pulling the other end with a force of 380.0N. When you did this, what distance will the bungee cord you shouldselect have stretched?

The distance the bungee cord that would be stretched 0.602 m, should be selected when pulled by a force of 380 N.

Explanation:

As from the given data

the length of the rope is given as l=30 m

the stretched length is given as l'=41m

the stretched length required is give as y=l'-l=41-30=11m

the mass is m=95 kg

the force is F=380 N

the gravitational acceleration is g=9.8 m/s2

The equation of k is given by equating the energy at the equilibrium point which is given as

$U_{potential}=U_{elastic}\\mgh=\dfrac{1}{2} k y^2\\k=\dfrac{2mgh}{y^2}$

Here

m=95 kg, g=9.8 m/s2, h=41 m, y=11 m so

$k=\dfrac{2mgh}{y^2}\\k=\dfrac{2\times 95\times 9.8\times 41}{11^2}\\k=630.92 N/m$

Now the force is

$F=kx\\$ or

$x=\dfrac{F}{k}\\$

So here F=380 N, k=630.92 N/m

$x=\dfrac{F}{k}\\x=\dfrac{380}{630.92}\\x=0.602 m$

So the distance is 0.602 m

Answer from: Quest

answer: the correct answer is 1.

explanation: there are various process in which a radioactive nuclei decays:

1) alpha decay: in this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. the mass number is reduced by 4 units.

$_a^z\textrm{x}\rightarrow _{a-2}^{z-4}+_2^4\alpha$

2) electron capture: in this decay process, a parent nuclei absorbs an electron and gets converted into a neutron. simply, a proton and an electron combines together to form a neutron. mass number does not change in this process.

$_a^z\textrm{x}+_{-1}^0\textrm{e}\rightarrow _{z-1}^a\textrm{y}$

3) gamma ray emission: it is a decay process in which an unstable nuclei gives excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process. this decay releases $\gamma -radiations$ . this process does not change the mass number.

$_a^z\textrm{x}^*\rightarrow _a^z\textrm{x}+_0^0\gamma$

4) positron emission: it is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron neutrino. this is also known as $\beta ^+$ -decay. in this the mass number remains same.

$_a^z\textrm{x}\rightarrow _{z-1}^a\textrm{y}+_{+1}^0e$

from the above information, we see that only alpha-decay is producing a change in the mass number of the nucleus.

Answer from: Quest

Iread this book last year so take this with a grain of salt.gene jumps from the tree to compete with finny due to the fact that gene is always trying to do better than finny. he is put under the grasp of peer pressure due to finny almost forcing him to do this. ever since he first jumped finny kept pressuring him to jump since he thought gene enjoyed jumping.rather than uses this answer you should probably just reread chapters 3-4
