. Two objects are connected by a light string passing over a light frictionless pulley as in Figure P8.3. The object of mass m is released from rest at height h. Using the principle of conservation of energy, (a) determine the speed of m just as m hits the ground. Find the maximum height to which m rises. P8.4 m > m (a) m gh = ( m + m )v + m gh v = ( m m )gh ( m + m ) Since m has kinetic energy, it will rise an additional height m v Δh determined from m g Δh = m v or from (a), Δh = v ( g = m m )h ( m + m ) m The total height m reaches is h + Δh = h. m + m. A light rigid rod is 77.0 cm long. Its top end is pivoted on a low- friction horizontal axle. The rod hangs straight down at rest, with a small massive ball attached to its bottom end. You strike the ball, suddenly giving it a horizontal
velocity so that it swings around in a full circle. What minimum speed at the bottom is required to make the ball go over the top of the circle? P8.5 The force of tension and subsequent force of compression in the rod do no work on the ball, since they are perpendicular to each step of displacement. Consider energy conservation of the ball-earth system between the instant just after you strike the ball and the instant when it reaches the top. The speed at the top is zero if you hit it just hard enough to get it there. initial final K i + U gi = K f + U gf mv i + 0 = 0 + mg v i = 4g = 4 9.80 : ( 0.770) v i v i = 5.49 m s FIG. P8.5 3. A daredevil plans to bungee- jump from a balloon 65.0 m above a carnival midway. He will use a uniform elastic cord, tied to a harness around his body, to stop his fall at a point 0.0 m above the ground. Model his body as a particle, and the cord as having negligible mass and one that obeys Hooke s force law. In a preliminary test, hanging at rest from a 5.00- m length of the cord, he finds that his body weight stretches it by.50 m. He will drop from rest at the point where the top end of a longer section of the cord is attached to the stationary balloon. (a) What length of cord should he use? What maximum acceleration will he experience? *P8.9 (a) For a 5-m cord the spring constant is described by F = kx, mg = k(.5 m). For a longer cord of length the stretch distance is longer so the spring constant is smaller in inverse proportion: here y i y f = 55 m = + x f k = 5 m mg = 3.33 mg.5 m ( K + U g + U s ) = K + U g + U s i f 0 + mgy i + 0 = 0 + mgy f + kx f mg( y i y f ) = kx f = mg 3.33 x f initial FIG.

The spring is originally compressed by 5.00 cm and has a force constant of 8.00 N/m. When it is fired, the ball moves 5.0 cm through the horizontal barrel of the cannon, and there is a constant friction force of 0.03 0 N between the barrel and the ball.

The block travels down the track, hits a spring of force constant 50 N/m, and compresses the spring 0.300 m from its equilibrium position before coming to rest momentarily.

She must swing into a wind exerting constant horizontal force F, on a vine having length and initially making an angle θ with the vertical (Fig. P8.65).
