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) How long is the bungee cord when unstretched? (That is, how far had the jumper fallen when the cord began to stretch?)
c) How fast was the jumper travelling when the cord began to stretch?
d) How close to the ground do they reach during the jump?

EXAMPLE 6.3 Bungee Jumper A bungee jumper locates a suitable bridge that is 75.0 m above the river below, as shown in Figure 6.14. The jumper has a mass of m-80.0 kg and a height of Ljumper 1.85 m, we can think of a bungee cord as a spring. The spring constant of the bungee cord is k-50.0 N/m. Assume that the mass of the bungee cord is negligible compared with the jumper's mass Lo PROBLENM The jumper wants to...

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...

7. A bungee jumper with mass m 50 kg leaps fron a bridge. The jumper is attached to the bridge by an elastic cord with axial stiffness k = 0.10 kN m-1. The cord unravels to its ful unstretched length 3.0s after the jumper has left the bridge. Starting from when the jumper leaves the bridge, determine the earliest time at which the elastic cord reaches its maximum extension. Neglect air resistance.[15

An adventurous bungee jumper is in the process of dropping into
a gorge from a bridge. He has thought ahead to wear a helment and
other safety gear. At this moment in time, he has reached the
equilibrium position of his bungee , is L meters below the bridge
and h meters above the river below. He has a mass M.
a) What is his total potential energy as a function of his
distance x from equilibrium?

A 68 kg bungee jumper is standing on a platform 46 m above the ground. The jumper falls from rest and it is assumed that the bungee cord, which is attached to the bungee jumper at one end and the platform at the other, has no effect for the first 9 m of the fall, i.e. the natural length of the cord is 9 m. When the bungee jumper is more than 9 m away from the platform the cord...

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...

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...

Your 60kg friend is bungee jumping from a bridge 55 m high. She falls a distance of 25 m before her bungee starts to stretch. If the bungee brings her to a stop when she is just about to hit the ground (has fallen a distance of 55 m), what is the elastic potential energy stored in the bungee? (in kJ)
