Chapter 1: Q7DQ (page 228)

A woman bounces on a trampoline, going a little higher with each bounce. Explain how she increases the total mechanical energy.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Thetotal energy is increased by increasing the potential energy.

Step by step solution

01

Concept/Significance of total mechanical  

If there are only the gravitational and elastic forces work on a particle, then the sum of kinetic and potential energies will be conserved. This sum E=K+U is known as the total mechanical energy of the particle.

02

Explain the increase in mechanical energy 

When a woman bounces on a trampoline, she transfers some muscular energy from her legs and body to depress the trampoline a little further each time to rebound higher. That is why she goes a little higher with each bounce.

Therefore, she acquires more potential energy for the next descent and the total mechanical energy of the woman will be increased.

In March 2006, two small satellites were discovered orbiting Pluto, one at a distance of 48,000 km and the other at 64,000 km. Pluto already was known to have a large satellite Charon, orbiting at 19,600 km with an orbital period of 6.39 days. Assuming that the satellites do not affect each other, find the orbital periods of the two small satellites withoutusing the mass of Pluto.

A swimming pool is 5.0 m long, 4.0 m wide, and 3.0 m deep. Compute the force exerted by the water against (a) the bottom and (b) either end. (Hint: Calculate the force on a thin, horizontal strip at a depth h, and integrate this over the end of the pool.) Do not include the force due to air pressure.

A jet fighter pilot wishes to accelerate from rest at a constant acceleration of to reach Mach 3 (three times the speed of sound) as quickly as possible. Experimental tests reveal that he will black out if this acceleration lasts for more than5.0s. Use331m/sfor the speed of sound. (a) Will the period of acceleration last long enough to cause him to black out? (b) What is the greatest speed he can reach with an acceleration ofbefore he blacks out?

In 2005 astronomers announced the discovery of large black hole in the galaxy Markarian 766 having clumps of matter orbiting around once every27鈥�hours and moving at30,000鈥�km/s . (a) How far these clumps from the center of the black hole? (b) What is the mass of this black hole, assuming circular orbits? Express your answer in kilogram and as a multiple of sun鈥檚 mass. (c) What is the radius of event horizon?
