Question

Slingshot (Hooke's Law)

A slingshot obeying Hooke's law is used to launch pebblesvertically into the air. You observe that if you pull a pebble back2.00 {rm cm} against the elastic band,the pebble goes6.00 {rm m} high.

Assuming that air drag is negligible, how high will the pebble goif you pull it back 5.00 {rm cm} instead?

How far must you pull it back so it will reach 13.0 {rm m}?

If you pull a pebble that is twice as heavy back4.00 {rm cm}, how high will it go?

    An 80.0 kg bungee jumper drops from rest off a bridge that is 200.0 m above a river. As he falls, air resistance is negligible, and the unstretched bungee cord attached to him uncoils. The mass of the bungee cord is negligible. When the jumper is 50.0 m below the bridge, the bungee cord is completely uncoiled and forms a straight line. Below that point, the bungee cord acts as a spring, obeying Hooke's law as it is stretched beyond...

    A spring is found to not obey Hooke's law. It exerts a restoring force F(x) =-ax- 2 N if it stretched or compressed, where α = 60 N/m and β 18.0 Nm2/3. The mass of the spring is negligible. (a) Calculate the work function W(x) for the spring. Let U=0 when x=0. (b) An object of mass 0.900 kg on a horizontal surface is attached to this spring. The surface provides a friction force that is dependent on distance Fr(x)2x2...

    Newton’s Cannon Imagine you fired a cannonball such that the range of that ball was slightly longer than the radius of the Earth. As that ball fell back down, it would miss the ground and continue to fall. If we can ignore any air resistance or collisions with other objects, then we can say the ball would continue to fall forever, just missing the ground, and thus be in orbit. Assume all orbits here are perfectly circular and pretend that...

    Robin Hood Scenario It was the spring of the second year of his insurrection against the High Sheriff of Nottingham that Robin Hood took a walk in Sherwood Forest. As he walked he pondered the progress of the campaign, the disposition of his forces, the Sheriff’s recent moves and the options that confronted him. The revolt against the Sheriff had begun as a personal crusade. It erupted out of Robin’s conflict with the Sheriff and his administration. However, alone Robin...
