1. Bone Fractures. The maximum energy that a bone can absorb without breaking depends on
characteristics such as its cross-sectional area and elasticity. For healthy human leg bones of
approximately 6.0 𝑐𝑚! cross sectional area, this energy has been experimentally measured to be
about 200 𝐽. (a) From approximately what maximum height could a 60 − 𝑘𝑔 person jump and land
rigidly upright on both feet without breaking his legs? (b) You are probably surprised at how small
the answer to part (a) is. People obviously jump from much greater heights without breaking their
legs. How can that be? What else absorbs the energy when they land? (Hint: How did the person
in part (a) land? How do people normally land when they jump greater heights? (c) Why might
older people be much prone than younger ones to bone fractures from simple falls (such as fall in
the shower)?

2. A 2.50 − 𝑘𝑔 block on a horizontal floor is attached to a horizontal spring that is initially

compressed 0.0300 𝑚. The spring has force constant 840. 𝑁/𝑚. The coefficient of kinetic friction
between the floor and block is 𝜇" = 0.400. The block and spring are released from rest, and the
block slides along the floor. What is the speed of the block when it has moved a distance of
0.0200 𝑚 from initial position? (At this point the spring is compressed 0.0100 𝑚.

3. When its 75 − 𝑘𝑊 (100 ℎ𝑝) engine is generating full power, a small single-engine airplane with
#
mass 700 kg gains altitude at a rate of 2.5 m/s (150 #$% , 𝑜𝑟 500 𝑓𝑡/min ). What fraction of the
engine power is being used to make the airplane climb? (The remainder is used to overcome the
effects of air resistance and of inefficiencies in the propeller and engine.)
