In Bosnia, the ultimate test of a young nuns courage used to be to jump off a 400-year-old bridge (destroyed in 1993; rebuilt in 2004) into the River Neretva, 23 m below the bridge. (a) How long did the jump last? (b) How fan was the jumper traveling upon impact with the river? (c) If the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s, how long after the jumper took off did a spectator on the bridge hear the splash?
The cart impacts the safety barrier with speed vo = 3.30 m/s and is brought to a stop by the nest of nonlinear springs which provide a deceleration a = -k1x - k2x°, where x is the amount of spring deflection from the undeformed position and k1 and k2 are positive constants. If the maximum spring deflection is 440 mm and the velocity at half-maximum deflection is 3.04 m/s, determine the values for the constants k1 and k2. Undeformed position Vo Answers: k1 i s2 k2 = i m2s-2
A surfer estimates that the waves at a particular beach have an average height of 2.3 m, measured peak to trough. She also estimates that a buoy moves up and down at a rate of two cycles in 8 s. Using her estimates, find the total distance traveled in 12 s by a seagull riding the waves.
A 2.60-kg block is attached to a horizontal spring that has a spring constant of 366 N/m. At the instant when the displacement of the spring from its unstrained length is -0.115 m, what is the acceleration a of the object?
You are sitting on a deck of your house surrounded by oak trees. You hear the sound of an acorn hitting the deck. You wonder if an acorn will do much damage if instead of the deck it hits your head. Let the mass of the acom be 3.1g Suppose it drops from a height of 13 m (relative to your head). Assume that the acorn sinks in 0.50 cm of your head skin before coming to a stop. Determine the magnitude of the force that the acorn would exert in the head. Include explanations and a force diagram

A bumper, consisting of a nest of three springs, is used to arrest the horizontal motion of a large mass which is traveling at 45 m/s as it contacts the bumper. The two outer springs cause a deceleration proportional to the spring deformation. The center spring increases the deceleration rate when the compression exceeds 0.7 m as shown on the graph. Determine the maximum compression x of the outer springs. Deceleration m/s² 4380 2920 1460 0 x, m 1.4 m 45 m/s i Answer: x= 0.7
A spring within a spring launcher is compressed a distance, x, and locked into position by a pin at point P. A spherical ball M is placed onto the compressed spring. When the pin is removed, the spring accelerates the ball upwards until the ball then reaches some maximum height above the spring, HM. Assume the compression of the spring is small in comparison to the maximum height reached by the launched ball. The ball is then replaced by a ball having one third the mass, M. The same spring is M. 3 compressed the same distance, x, and the new ball is launched. (!))))))))))))))) HM

A bumper, consisting of a nest of three springs, is used to arrest the horizontal motion of a large mass which is traveling at 62 ft/sec as it contacts the bumper. The two outer springs cause a deceleration proportional to the spring deformation. The center spring increases the deceleration rate when the compression exceeds 8 in. as shown on the graph. Determine the maximum compression x of the outer springs. Deceleration ft/sec 6000 4000 2000 x, in. 16 8 62 ft/sec Answer:x = i ! in.
