You sign up for a bungee jump off a tall bridge. a thick rope with a fixed length of 20.0 m is tied to the bridge, and a bungee cord with an unstretched length of 8.00 m is then connected to the rope. the other end of the bungee cord is attached to your legs. you step off the bridge, falling from rest. the bungee cord does not start exerting any force on you until you have fallen a distance of 28.0 m (the sum of the rope's length and the unstretched length of the bungee cord). after that, it exerts an upward force on you that eventually brings you to rest, for an instant. assume the bungee cord, when stretched, acts like an ideal spring, and take g = 10 n/kg, to make the calculations easier. your mass is 40.0 kg. you fall a total distance of 49.0 m before coming instantaneously to rest. determine the spring constant of the bungee cord. n/m

It is reasonable to assume that the bulk modulus of blood is about the same as that of water (2.2 gpa). as one goes deeper and deeper in the ocean, the pressure increases by 10000 pa for every meter below the surface. if a diver goes down 80.0 m in the ocean, by how much does each cubic centimeter of her blood change in volume? give the answer in cubic centimeters (actually one cubic centimeter equals one milliliter).

A55-kg pilot flies a jet trainer in a half vertical loop of 1200-m radius so that the speed of the trainer decreases at a constant rate. knowing that the plane has a speed of 550 km/h at point a, and the pilot experiences weightlessness at point c (i. e., the normal force from the seat bottom is zero), determine (a) the deceleration of the plane, (b) the force exerted on her by the seat of the trainer when the trainer is at point b.

Car batteries are often rated in amp-hours. this rating indicates the quantity of charge that can pass through the battery before the battery's chemical energy must be restored by the car's generator or some other source. the amp-hour unit is convenient for simple calculations. for example, a 60-amp-hour battery can supply a current of 1.0 a for 60 h (or 60 a for 1.0 h) before going dead. find the energy stored in the following. (a) a 58 a-h, 10 v car battery(b) a 1.3 a-h, 1.7 v flashlight battery
