Kate, a bungee jumper, wants to jump off the edge of a bridge that spans a river below. kate has a mass m, and the surface of the bridge is a height h above the water. the bungee cord, which has length l when unstretched, will first straighten and then stretch as kate falls. assume the following:
(a)the bungee cord behaves as an ideal spring once it begins to stretch, with spring constant k.
(b) kate doesn’t actually jump but simply steps off the edge of the bridge and falls straight downward.
(c) kate’s height is negligible compared to the length of the bungee cord. hence, she can be treated as a point particle. use for the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity.

Acave rescue team lifts an injured spelunker directly upward and out of a sinkhole by means of a motor-driven cable. the lift is performed in three stages, each requiring a vertical distance of 10.0 m: (a) the initially stationary spelunker is accelerated to a speed of 4.90 m/s; (b) he is then lifted at the constant speed of 4.90 m/s; (c) finally he is decelerated to zero speed. how much work is done on the 68.0 kg rescue by the force lifting him during each stage?
