A pogo stick has a spring with a force constant of 2.50×10⁴ n/m.which can be compressed 12.0 cm. To what maximum height from the uncompressed spring can a child jump on the stick using only the energy in the spring if the child and stick have a total mass of 40 kg?

A child's pogo stick (Fig. P8.61) stores energy in a spring with a force constant of 2.50 x 10= N/m. At position , the spring compression is a maximum and the child is momentarily at rest. At position , the spring is relaxed and the child is moving upward. At position , the child is again momentarily at rest at the top of the jump. The combined mass of child and pogo stick is 25.0 kg. Although the boy must lean forward to remain balanced, the angle is small, so let's assume the pogo stick is vertical. Also assume the boy does not bend his legs during the motion. (a) Calculate the total energy of the child-stick-Earth system, taking both gravitational and elastic potential energies as zero for x= 0. (b) Determine . (c) Calculate the speed of the child at x = 0. (d) Determine the value of x for which the kinetic energy of the system is a maximum. (e) Calculate the child's maximum upward speed.

A child's pogo stick (Fig. P8.61) stores energy in a spring with a force constant of 2.50 × 10⁴ N/m. At position Ⓐ (x_Ⓐ = -0.100 m), the spring compression is a maximum and the child is momentarily at rest. At position Ⓑ (x_Ⓑ, = 0), the spring is relaxed and the child is moving upward. At position ©, the child is again momentarily at rest at the top of the jump. The combined mass of child and pogo stick is 25.0 kg. Although the boy must lean forward to remain balanced, the angle is small, so let's assume the pogo stick is vertical. Also assume the boy does not bend his legs during the motion.

A 25-kg child uses a pogo stick to bounce up and down. The spring constant k, of the toy, equals 8750 N/m.
(a) By how much would the spring be compressed by the child if she simply balanced herself vertically on the pedals of the stick?
(b) How much energy is stored in the spring under this circumstance?
