4. An "extreme" pogo stick utilizes a spring whose uncompressed length is 46 cm and whose force constant is 1.4 x 104 N/m. A 60-kg person is jumping on the pogo stick,
compressing the spring to a length of only 5.0 cm at the bottom of their jump. Which is the upward acceleration of the person at the moment the spring reaches its greatest
compression at the bottom of their jump?
6 m 2

a = 85.9 m / s²

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use Newton's second law in the most compressed part

             F - W = m a

force is the spring elastic force

             F = - k Δx

          k Δx - m g = m a

          a = k/m  Δx - g

         Δx = x₀ -

         ΔX = 46 - 5 = 41cm (1m / 100cm) = 0.41  m

let's calculate

          a = 1.4 10⁴/60 0.41 - 9.8

          a = 85.9 m / s²

answer; the correct answer is technician a; ///100%good luck

the independent variable, the one that is intentionally manipulated, is whether or not the car hits the barrier.

the dependent variable, the one that you measure the response in, is the distance that the washers travel.
