A rescue helicopter lifts a 70.6-kg person straight up by means of a cable. The person has an upward acceleration of 0.728 m/s2 and is lifted from rest through a distance of 11.5 m. (a) What is the tension in the cable? How much work is done by (b) the tension in the cable and (c) the person's weight? (d) Use the work-energy theorem and find the final speed of the person.

An electron is accelerated inside a parallel plate capacitor.
The electron leaves the negative plate with a negligible initial
velocity and then after the acceleration it hits the positive plate
with a final velocity β. The distance between the plates is 11.0
cm, and the voltage difference is 147 kV. Determine the final
velocity β of the electron using classical mechanics. (The rest
mass of the electron is 9.11×10-31 kg, the rest energy
of the electron is 511 keV.)
What is the final velocity β of the electron if you use
relativistic mechanics?

There is a region with a constant magnetic field 6.31T . The magnetic field is directed out of the page. A conducting rod moves with a velocity of 1.58m/s , along a V shaped wire that is in the shape of a right triangle. At time = 0 s the rod is at the vertex of the triangle where the angle at the vertex is 19degrees . The right angle is where the conducting rod is. This means the rod is moving along the x axis and the rod is the y axis.
What is the emf induced in the rod after it has moved from the vertex for a time of 10.9s ?

It's your birthday, and to celebrate you're going to make your first bungee jump. You stand on a bridge 120 m above a raging river and attach a 30-m -long bungee cord to your harness. A bungee cord, for practical purposes, is just a long spring, and this cord has a spring constant of 45 N/m . Assume that your mass is 71 kg . After a long hesitation, you dive off the bridge.
Part A
How far are you above the water when the cord reaches its maximum elongation?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Two Earth satellites, A and B, each of mass m, are to be launched into circular orbits about Earth's center. Satellite A is to orbit at an altitude of 7530 km. Satellite B is to orbit at an altitude of 24200 km. The radius of Earth REis 6370 km. (a) What is the ratio of the potential energy of satellite B to that of satellite A, in orbit? (b) What is the ratio of the kinetic energy of satellite B to that of satellite A, in orbit? (c) Which satellite (answer A or B) has the greater total energy if each has a mass of 28.5 kg? (d) By how much?
