- The force exerted by a diving board is conservative, provided the internal friction is negligible. Assuming friction is negligible, describe changes in the potential energy of a diving board as a swimmer drives from it, starting just before the swimmer steps on the board until just after his feet leave it.arrow_forwardA 200-g steel ball is tied to a 2.00m “massless” string and hung from the ceiling to make a pendulum, and then, the ball is brought to a position making a 30 angle with the vertical direction and released from rest. Ignoring the effects of the air resistance, find the speed of the ball when the string (a) is vertically down, (b) makes an angle of 20 with the vertical and (c) makes an angle of 10 with the vertical.arrow_forwardIn an iconic movie scene, Forrest Gump (https://openstaxcollege.org/l/21ForrGumpvid) runs around the country.

- When jogging at 13 km/h on a level surface, a 70-kg man uses energy at a rate of approximately 850 W. Using the facts that the “human engine” is approximately 25 efficient, determine the rate at which this man uses energy when jogging up a 5.0 slope at this same speed. Assume that the frictional retarding force is the same in both cases.arrow_forwardA block of mass m = 5.00 kg is released from point and slides on the frictionless track shown in Figure P7.6.

The ad says that the minimum weight of a jumper is 120 lb and the maximum weight is 250 lb. It also says that the pogo stick uses a patented system of elastometric rubber springs that provides up to 1200 lbs of thrust, something common helical spring sticks simply cannot achieve (rubber has 10 times the energy storing capability of steel). a. Use Figure P8.32 to estimate the maximum compression of the pogo sticks spring. Include the uncertainty in your estimate. b. What is the effective spring constant of the elastometric rubber springs? Comment on the claim that rubber has 10 times the energy-storing capability of steel. c. Check the ads claim that the maximum height a jumper can achieve is 6 ft.arrow_forward
