A bungee cord exerts a nonlinear elastic force of magnitude F(x) = k1x + k2x3, where x is the distance the cord is stretched, k1 = 203 N/m and k2 = −0.220 N/m3. How much work (in kJ) must be done on the cord to stretch it 15.0 m?

    A bungee cord is essentially a very long rubber band that can stretch up to four times its unstretched length. However, its spring constant varies over its stretch [see Menz, P.G. “The Physics of Bungee Jumping.” The Physics Teacher (November 1993) 31: 483-487]. Suppose an unstretched bungee cord has a length l0 = 23.3 m and during a bungee jump it stretches so that its maximum total length is l = 53.7 m. Suppose that bungee cord behaves like an...

    5. In bungee jumping, it is obviously important to know in advance how far an elastic cord of un-stretched length L will stretch with a given weight attached to its end. In one model for this elongation, the cord is simply considered to be a weak spring with constant k and the person tied to the end of the cord is a point mass m. Air resistance and any pendulum motion of the cord mass system are ignored. Suppose a...

    10) A bungee cord measures 30 m when relaxed and has negligible mass. When it is stretched, it can be modeled as a spring with spring constant k = 68 N/m. (This means the elastic energy in the cord is given by Usp = 1 2 kx2 , where x = L−30 m; in other words, x is the additional distance the cord is stretched beyond its “natural length” 30 m.) A 80-kg jumper secured to this cord wants to...

    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...
