You sign up for a bungee jump off a tall bridge. A thick rope with a fixed length of 16.0 m is tied to the bridge, and a bungee cord with an unstretched length of 8.00 m is then connected to the rope. The other end of the bungee cord is attached to your legs.
You step off the bridge, falling from rest. The bungee cord does not start exerting any force on you until you have fallen a distance of 24.0 m (the sum of the rope's length and the unstretched length of the bungee cord). After that, it exerts an upward force on you that eventually brings you to rest, for an instant. Assume the bungee cord, when stretched, acts like an ideal spring, and take g = 10 N/kg, to make the calculations easier. Your mass is 40.0 kg.
You fall a total distance of 48.0 m before coming
instantaneously to rest. Calculate the maximum speed you reach
during the fall.

An 80kg man decides to bungee jump off a bridge but finds out that his rope is too long. The man strikes the water with a velocity of 24.53 m/s. The stiffness of the elastic cord is k=75 N/m. If there were no water present, the man would stop after 7.42 m due to his elastic bungee cord. Neglect the size of the man. Determine the Impact Force (The force of which he hits the water). Determine the force the...

An 80.0 kg bungee jumper drops from rest off a bridge that is 200.0 m above a river. As he falls, air resistance is negligible, and the unstretched bungee cord attached to him uncoils. The mass of the bungee cord is negligible. When the jumper is 50.0 m below the bridge, the bungee cord is completely uncoiled and forms a straight line. Below that point, the bungee cord acts as a spring, obeying Hooke's law as it is stretched beyond...

When bungee jumping from a high bridge over Victoria Falls, an operator first attaches an elastic rope to the jumper. The jumper then jumps off the bridge, falling freely until they reach the unstretched length of the rope Then, the rope begins to stretch and slows the jumper to a stop. The rope pulls the jumper back up, and they oscillate up and down for a while until the operator pulls the jumper back up to the bridge. The rope...

A 90 kg student jumps off a bridge with a 8-m-long bungee cord tied to his feet. The massless bungee cord has a spring constant of 400 N/m. You can assume that the bungee cord exerts no force until it begins to stretch. How far below the bridge is the student's lowest point? How far below the bridge is the student's resting position after the oscillations have been fully damped?

Your 60 kg friend is bungee jumping from a bridge which is 60 m high. She falls a distance of 25 m before her bungee starts to stretch. -If she starts from rest at the top of the bridge, what is her change in kinetic energy (in kJ) right before her bungee begins to stretch? -If the bungee brings her to a stop when she is just about to to hit the ground (has fallen a distance 60 m), what...

A 70 kg person does a bungee jump from a bridge. The natural length of the bungee cord is 20m and it has a spring constant k of 80 N/m. When the bungee cord has a total length of 25m, what is the acceleration of the jumper (to 2 significant figures)?

A bungee cord is 30.0 m long and. when stretched a distance x, it exerts a restoring force of magnitude kx. Your father-in-law (mass 100 kg) stands on a platform 45.0 m above the ground, and one end of the cord is tied securely to his ankle and the other end to the platform. You have promised him that when he steps off the platform he will fall a maximum distance of only 41.0 m before the cord stops...

Consider a bungee jumper dropping vertically in freefall from a bridge 80 m above the ground. After three seconds, the elastic cord connecting the jumper to the bridge starts to stretch, which changes the jumper's acceleration to 15 m/s2 upwards. a) Sketch (without doing any math) the position vs time, velocity vs. time, and acceleration vs. time graphs for the bungee jumper from the moment they start to fall to the moment they reach the closest to the ground. b)...
