Question

(17%) Problem 5: Suppose a 84 kg person is bouncing on a bathroom scale which has a force constant of 1.6 x 106 Nm. 50% Part (a) what is the maximum velocity of the person, in meters per second, if the amplitude of the bounce is 0.205 cm?

Explanation / Answer

a) maximum KE = maximum PE

1/2 m vmax2 = 1/2 k A2

vmax = A * sqrt (k/m) = 0.205 * 10-2 * sqrt [1.6 * 106 / 84]

= 0.283 m/s = 28.3 cm/s

b) maximum energy = 1/2 k A2

= 1/2 * 1.6 * 106 * (0.205 * 10-2)2

= 3.36 J
