Juggles the clown stands on one end of a teeter-totter at rest on the ground. Bangles the clown jumps off a platform 2.6 m above the ground and lands on the other end of the teeter-totter, launching Juggles into the air. Juggles rises to a height of 3.9 m above the ground, at which point he has the same amount of gravitational potential energy as Bangles had before he jumped, assuming both potential energies are measured using the ground as the reference level. Bangles' mass is 97 kg. What is Juggles' mass? Number Units

A suspended platform of negligible mass is connected to the floor below by a long vertical spring of force constant k = 1200 N/m. A circus performer of mass m = 70 kg falls from rest onto the platform from a height of h = 5.8 m above it, as shown below. Initially, the spring is not compressed or stretched. For this problem, define your system to consist of the person, platform, spring, and Earth, and you should take the reference point y = 0 to be the initial height of the platform. Part (a) Determine the total mechanical energy for this system. Is it conserved? Defend your reasoning. Part (b) As the performer falls, consider the following two segments of their descent: (i) from the moment the performer starts moving until they reach the platform, and (ii) from the moment they start compressing the platform until they reach a maximum compression. For each of two segments, describe what happens to the kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy, and spring potential energy in the system. You should be specific about what forms of energy are present and how they are being converted from one to another.

A lumberjack (mass = 107 kg) is standing at rest on one end of a floating log (mass = 214 kg) that is also at rest. The lumberjack runs to the other end of the log, attaining a velocity of +3.45 m/s relative to the shore, and then hops onto an identical floating log that is initially at rest. Neglect any friction and resistance between the logs and the water. (a) What is the velocity of the first log (again relative to the shore) just before the lumberjack jumps off? (b) Determine the velocity of the second log (again relative to the shore) if the lumberjack comes to rest relative to the second log. (a) Number Units (b) Number Units

Three different objects, all with different masses, are initially at rest at the bottom of a set of steps. Each step is of uniform height d. The mass of each object is a multiple of the base mass m : object 1 has mass 4.90 m, object 2 has mass 1.46 m, and object 3 has mass m. When the objects are at the bottom of the steps, define the total gravitational potential energy of the three-object system to be zero. Each answer requires the numerical coefficient to an algebraic expression that uses some combination of the variables m, g, and d, where g is the acceleration due to gravity. Enter only the numerical coefficient. (Example: If the answer is 1.23mgd, just enter 1.23) If the objects are positioned on the steps as shown, what is gravitational potential energy Ug, system of the system? If you redefine the reference height such that the total potential energy of the system is zero, how high h0 above the bottom of the stairs is the new reference height? Now, find a new reference height h0′ (measured from the base of the stairs) such that the highest two objects have the exact same gravitational potential energy. Ug, system = mgd h0 = d h0′ = d
