Can a bungee cord be used as a force meter?
No, a bungee cord cannot be used as a force meter because the elasticity of a bungee cord is not that much, compared to a force meter.
When a bungee cord gets longer will the bounce height vary?
Yes, as the bungee cord gets longer, the bounce height will become greater. The object attached to the bungee cord will fall longer before being snapped back up by the bungee cord, and in turn the object will bounce higher before being pulled back down by the bungee cord.

What is a bungee cord?

What does potential energy have to do with bungee jumping?
Potential energy is all about height. The higher the object the more potential energy. So the higher you start the farther you will stretch the cord
Why do bungee jumpers use ropes that have small values of the force constant?
Bungee jumpers use ropes that have small values of the force constant because they want maximum stretching for their cords to preserve as much energy as possible from their initial fall. The units of force constant are N/m. On a bungee cord, you would like the stretch to takes as little force as possible per meter of cord.
Where can you find bungee cords?
Bungee cords are made. Usually, depending on where you live. By aspecialist who specifies in bungee cords. There are 2 types of modern day cords. Spec cords and the NZ cord. Spec cords are a military type of cord and only stretch to twice there length. Meaning if you want to jump 20', you need a 10' spec cord. Also spec cords are not very forgiving. Usually the sheath that surrounds the rubber in the cord has a stop distance that is twice the distance. Once its been reached it stops abruptly. The second and most commonly used around the world, the NZ cord is a tight bunched of elastics that are specially made to stretch 400% there size. Meaning if you have a 200lbs person and they want to jump 100'. You would need 25' of nz cord, that has at least 200 wraps in it. The science of the cord is very specific. The number of wraps in the cord very, depending on the weight of the person jumping. The larger the cord the more weight is needed to stretch it.
