1. Hummingbirds may seem fragile, but their wings are capable of sustaining very large forces and accelerations(Figure 1) shows data for the vertical position of the wing tip of a rufous hummingbird.

a) What is the maximum acceleration of the wing tips, in m/s2?

b) What is the maximum acceleration of the wing tips, in units of g?

2.Bungee Man is a superhero who does super deeds with the help of Super Bungee cords. The Super Bungee cords act like ideal springs no matter how much they are stretched. One day, Bungee Man stopped a school bus that had lost its brakes by hooking one end of a Super Bungee to the rear of the bus as it passed him, planting his feet, and holding on to the other end of the Super Bungee until the bus came to a halt. (Of course, he then had to quickly release the Super Bungee before the bus came flying back at him.) The mass of the bus, including passengers, was 1.20?10⁴kg, and its speed was 21.2m/s. The bus came to a stop in 50.0m.

a) What was the spring constant of the Super Bungee?

b) How much time after the Super Bungee was attached did it take the bus to stop?
