A slingshot, consisting of a leather pouch attached to two rubber bands which are tied to the prongs of a wooden Y- shaped frame, is used to shoot a pebble horizontally. When the slingshot is stretched by a distance d, it gives the pebble speed v. What speed does it give the same pebble when it is stretched to distance 3d?

A slingshot consists of a Y-stick and a light leather cup containing a stone. The cup is pulled back against two parallel rubber bands. It takes a force of 15 N to stretch either one of these bands 1.0 cm. With what speed does the stone leave the slingshot?
A uniform thin rod of length 0.6 m and mass 6.00 kg is suspended freely from one end. It is pulled to the side an angle 60 degrees and released. If friction can be ignored, what is the speed of its free end (in m/s), at the lowest point? (Could you please explain what equation I can use to find it at it's lowest point as well as a step by step formula on how to fingure out this equation. Thank you, no rush).
A 100-g object is attached to one end of a massless 10-cm rod. The system is held vertical and is released from rest, allowing it to swing like a pendulum. What is the speed of the object when the rod is perfectly horizontal?
I’m going to bungee jump off a bridge that is 80 m above the water. My bungee chord is 25 m in length and has a spring constant of 30 N/m. My mass is 90 kg. During my jump, what will be the minimum distance between me and the surface of the water?
I find a spring that is labeled "80 N/m", but it is actually 3.5 inches long. I fasten a beam (horizontal rod) 789 mm above the table-top, and hang the spring from it. Where is the spring's bottom end? (presume the spring does not stretch due to its own weight; 1 inch is 25.4 mm) 786 mm above the table 307 mm above the table 89 mm above the table 709 mm above the table 878 mm above the table 780 mm above the table 789 mm above the table 70 mm above the table O 777 mm above the table 700 mm above the table O touching the table-top
A spring is mounted horizontally, with its left end held stationary. By attaching a spring balance to the free end and pulling toward the right, the stretching force is proportional to the displacement and that a force of 6.0 N causes a displacement of 0.030 m. We remove the spring balance and attach a 0.50-kg glider to the end, pull it a distance of 0.020 m along a frictionless air track, release it and watch it oscillate. Find the force constant of the spring. Find the angular frequency, frequency and period of oscillation.
A scallop forces open its shell with an elastic material called abductin, whose Young's modulus is about 2.0 x 106 N/m².
A gymnast of mass 52.0 kg is jumping on a trampoline. She jumps so that her feet reach maximum height of 2.49 m above the trampoline and, when she lands, her feet stretch the trampoline 68.0 cm down. How far does the trampoline stretch when she stands on it at rest? Assume that the trampoline is described by Hooke's law when it is stretched. Give your answer in cm.
A 5.2-kg bowling ball is attached to a weightless rod with dimensions shown below. The other end is attached to a rusty hinge so that it can swing like a pendulum. The ball is released when the rod is horizontal and the ball swings down and then up to a certain angle on the other side. During the swing, the rusty hinge steals 80% of the ball's initial potential energy. Find the maximum angle 0 of the rod from the vertical. 2.30 m-
A spring is 17 cm long when it is lying on a table. One end is attached to a hook and the other end is pulled by a force that increases to 25 N, causing the spring to stretch to a length of 19.cm. What is the force constant of this spring?
A 17.0 N package of whole wheat flour is suddenly placed on the pan of a scale such as you find in grocery stores. The pan is supported from below by a vertical spring of force constant 380 N/m . If the pan has negligible weight, find the maximum distance the spring will be compressed if no energy is dissipated by friction.
A 10.0-kg bob is attached to a rod whose length is 10.0 m. The right end of the rod is fixed, and the bob is released from rest. a) Determine the speed of the bob when it is below the pivot point (vertical angle is zero). b) Determine the tension in the rod when the bob is below the pivot point. hint: to determine the speed of the bob when it is below the pivot point, you will need to use Calculus.
