Claudia goes bungee jumping. she has a mass of 51 kg.

a. the bungee cord will stretch 5 m when 200 n of force is applied to it. what is the spring constant of the bungee cord?

b. after her jump, claudia hangs from the cord motionless. how stretched is the bungee cord past its natural length?

c. the maximum force the bungee cord can handle without breaking is 15,000 n. how far would you have to stretch it to get it to break?

Here Bungee will behave like an ideal spring

PART A)

so we know that spring force is given as

here we know that

F = 200 N

x = 5 m

now from above equation

PART b)

As we know that mass of the Claudia = 51 kg

now its force due to weight is given as

now from the above formula of spring

so bungee will be stretch by 12.5 m distance

Part C)

Maximum force on the bungee is given as

so it will stretch by 375 m distance

explanation:

the masses of the objects and the distance between them

what is the speed of a softball that travels 20m in 2secs

speed = 20/2 = 10 m/s
