A 70.0 kgman jumping from a window lands in an elevated fire rescue net 11.0 mbelow the window. He momentarily stops when he has stretched the net by 1.50 m. Assuming that mechanical energy is conserved during this process and that the net functions like an ideal spring, find the elastic potential energy of the net when it is stretched by 1.50 m.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The elastic potential energy of the net when it is stretched by 1.5 m is 8580 J.

Step by step solution

01

Given data:

Mass of man, m=70.0 kg

Distance of window above net, h=11.0 m

Net is stretched by, 1.5 m

02

To understand the concept:

As the man jumps from the window, which means he starts from rest, he will have zero initial kinetic energy. According to conservation of energy, the potential energy will be equal to the elastic potential energy of the net relative to where he momentarily stops.

Formula:

PE=mgh

Here, m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity having a value 9.8m/s2, and h is the height.

03

Calculate the elastic potential energy of the net when it is stretched by :

As the man is starting from rest, he will have no initial kinetic energy.

Now he falls down from a distance of 11.0 m.

And net is stretched by 1.5 m.

So the total height becomes

H=Distanceofwindowaboveground+Distanceofstretchednet=11.0+1.5m=12.5m

According to law of conservation of energy,

ElasticPotentialEnergy=(Potentialenergyat12.5m)=mgH=70kg9.8m/s212.5m=8580J

Hence, the elastic potential energy of the net when it is stretched by 1.5 m is 8580 J.

In Fig. 8-18, a horizontally moving block can take three frictionless routes, differing only in elevation, to reach the dashed finish line. Rank the routes according to (a) the speed of the block at the finish line and (b) the travel time of the block to the finish line, greatest first.

Figure shows a plot of potential energy Uversus position x.of a 0.200 kg particle that can travel only along an xaxis under the influence of a conservative force. The graph has these values: , UA=9.00J,UC=20.00J, and UD=24.00J. The particle is released at the point where Uforms a 鈥減otential hill鈥 of 鈥渉eight鈥 UB=12.00J, with kinetic energy 4.00 J. What is the speed of the particle at: (a) x = 3.5 m (b) x= 6.5 m? What is the position of the turning point on (c) the right side (d) the left side?

Repeat Problem 83, but now with the block accelerated up a frictionless plane inclined at 5.0to the horizontal.
