The shock absorbers in a car act as a big spring with \( \mathrm{k}=38700 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m} \). When a kid gets in, the spring stretches 0.00884 m . What is the weight of the kid? (Remember, weight is a force.) (Unit = N) Sibuit

A 38 kg child uses a pogo stick to bounce up and down. The spring constant, k, of the toy equals 9,300 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? (Give your answer in cm.) cm (b) How much energy (in J) is stored in the spring under this circumstance? J

A 35 kg child uses a pogo stick to bounce up and down. The spring constant, k, of the toy equals 8,500 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? (Give your answer in cm.) cm (b) How much energy (in J) is stored in the spring under this circumstance?

A pogo stick has a spring with a force constant of 2.15 x 10^4 N/m, which can be compressed 11.5 cm. To what maximum height (in m) can a child jump on the stick using only the energy in the spring, if the child and stick have a total mass of 38.0 kg?
