D:

A 62 kg person jumps from a window to a fire net 20.0 m directly below, which stretches the net 1.4 m. Assume that the net behaves like a simple spring. (a) Calculate how much it would stretch if the same person was lying on it. (b) How much would it stretch if the person jumped from 38 m?

a)___

b)___

a is 4.6 x 10-2m

b is 1x8204m

Explanation:

The fire net is actually going past zero into a negative vertical displacement. Essentially because again, we're saying that why initial equals thirty eight meters. The person is falling down to zero meters. Zero meters is where the fire that is. And then after the person stretches the fire. Yet it has a certain vertical displacement. But this particles placement is negative. So here we're going to choose the negative value. so trying to see how much of the fire net would stretch if the person was lying on tough it and if the person jumped from a height of thirty eight meters. So for here Mass is going to be equal to sixty two kilograms and why initial for party is going to be twenty meters and then why final is going to be negative one point four meters And so in order to find in order to find this is an instance, essentially, this is an instance perspective in the sense that we need this data in order to figure out this during constant so we can see that energy initial equals energy final and then we consider it mg y initial equals mg.

answer; i believe the correct answer is (40,000 j) good luck
