Question

It's your birthday, and to celebrate you're going to make your first bungee jump. You stand on a bridge 120 m above a raging river and attach a 32-m-long bungee cord to your harness. A bungee cord, for practical purposes, is just a long spring, and this cord has a spring constant of 45 N/m. Assume that your mass is 77 kg. After a long hesitation, you dive off the bridge.GENERATE THE ANSWER IN 150 WORDS IT WILL BE DIVIDED INTO TWO PARAGRAPHS THE FIRST PARA WILL BE THE SUMMARY OF THE ANSWER in 2 lines, AND SECOND PARA WILL BE THE EXPLANATION OF THE ANSWER SHOW CALCULATION

Answer 1

Answer:The distance is 15.21m

Explanation:Given that,

Height of bridge h =100m

Length = 30m

spring constant= 40N/m

Mass = 80kg

suppose we need to find the distance when the cord reaches its maximum elongation.

We need to calculate the distance

D= h+x

D= 100+x

We need to calculate the gravitational potential energy

using formula of gravitational potential energy

P.Ei = mgh

put the value into the formula

P.E = 80*
