That's very doubtful. What is the difference between the problem statement image that you posted and the image of your handwriting? Why did you need to post the additional image of your handwritten notes if the problem statement was complete?PatrikL said:
Yes they didLnewqban said:Welcome, Patrik!
Did you get the numbers that you have shown from a diagram?
So the information in your handwritten image is just part of the problem statement, and you have not posted any attempt. That violates forum rules.PatrikL said:
You need to follow the prompt given to you in Post #7. First, find the amount of potential energy stored in the elastic bungee cord. (Note that in your Step 6 you have assumed it to be zero!)PatrikL said:
If you had read the forum rules you would also know that images are for printed matter and diagrams. Your handwritten posts are too hard to read. Please take the trouble to type in your working. LaTeX is preferred, but you can also use the "..." pulldown above the typing area for subscript and superscript and ##\sqrt x## button for special characters.PatrikL said:
A bungee cord powered catapult is a device that uses the elastic potential energy of a stretched bungee cord to launch an object. It works by pulling back the bungee cord and releasing it, which causes the bungee cord to snap back and propel the object forward.
A bungee cord powered catapult works by converting the potential energy stored in the stretched bungee cord into kinetic energy. When the bungee cord is released, the potential energy is released and the bungee cord snaps back, transferring the energy to the object being launched.
The distance and velocity of the object launched by a bungee cord powered catapult are affected by the elasticity and length of the bungee cord, the mass of the object being launched, and the angle at which the bungee cord is released.
The potential energy of a bungee cord powered catapult can be calculated using the equation PE = 1/2kx^2, where k is the spring constant of the bungee cord and x is the distance the bungee cord is stretched. The kinetic energy can be calculated using the equation KE = 1/2mv^2, where m is the mass of the object being launched and v is the velocity of the object.
Bungee cord powered catapults have many real-world applications, such as launching projectiles in military and defense systems, propelling aircraft from aircraft carriers, and launching objects in amusement park rides. They can also be used in science experiments to study the principles of potential and kinetic energy.
