A bungee jumper let’s himself fall from a tall building (on Earth). If the bungee is 20m long.
A) what is the speed of the jumper when the bungee starts stretching? Neglect air resistance
B). What distance does he fall in the second before the bungee starts stretching? Neglect air resistance.

Q.2 Imagine a bungee jumper stepping out of a platform initially with kinetic zero energy. Let us take the system to be the bungee jumper, the bungee cord and the Earth and let us assume that the thermal energy of the system do not change during the jump. MODEL: We can treat the bungee jumper as a particle. The bungee cord is a perfect spring of zero mass, spring constant k and position at rest ye. The system is taken...

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...

A bungee jumper of mass 75kg is attached to a bungee cord of length L=35m. She walks off a platform (with no initial speed), reaches a height of 72m below the platform, and continues to oscillate. While air resistance eventually slows her to a stop, assume there is no air resistance for these calculations. 1. What is the spring constant of her bungee cord? 2. What is her speed when she is 35m below the platform (i.e., just before the...

A 65.2-kg bungee jumper is standing on a tall platform (h_0 = 46.2 m), as indicated in the figure. The bungee cord has a natural length of L_0 = 8.40 m and, when stretched, behaves like an ideal spring with a spring constant of k = 48.3 N/m. The jumper falls from rest, and it is assumed that the only forces acting on him are his weight and, for the latter part of the descent, the elastic force of the...

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)...

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...
Pierce is bungee jumping off of the top of a 75 meter tall dam in Russia with a cord that is too long
Pierce is bungee jumping off of the top of a 75 meter tall dam in Russia with a cord that is too long. When he splashes into the water at the bottom of the dam he is moving at a speed of 8.0 m/s, and the bungee cord is stretched to be 25 m longer than its rest length. If the bungee cord has a spring constant of 160 N/m, what is Pierce's mass in kilograms? (Ignore air resistance)

Design a "bungee jump" apparatus for adults. A bungee jumper falls from a high platform with two elastic cords tied to the ankles. The jumper falls freely for a while, with the cords slack. Then the jumper falls an additional distance with the cords increasingly tense. Assume that you have cords that are 9 m long, and that the cords stretch in the jump an additional 25 m for a jumper whose mass is 80 kg, the heaviest adult you...

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...
