well if they didnt have bungee rope then all of their weight would hit them at the same time. Whereas if you have a bungee rope then it lets you take your own weight very slowly

How bungee jumping work?
Gravity and elastic force.
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.
Why go head first in bungee jumping?
When bungee jumping, people go head first because the bungee cord is attached to their feet, and if they reamined in an upright position until they reached the end of the cord, it would flip them upside down with a very large amount of force. This would create a painful whiplash and greatly increase the risk of injury to the jumper, especially in to their spine.
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.
Is stretching a force?
yes, stretching is a force!
A bungee cord begins to exert an upward force on a falinig bungee jumper?
Gravity, rope, and friction
How does a bungee jump work long answer?
Gravity and elastic force...
What name is given to the stretching force that occurs in a spring or rope being pulled?
Stretching force
What is stretching force?
Tension
What is a stretching force?
A stretching force is basically tensile strength. It is measured in pascals or equivalently newtons per square meter. For example, carbon nanotubes have a stretching force or tensile strength of 63 GPa.
A man bungee jumps off a bridge and is brought to a rest by the stretched bungee cord this is an example of the following?
long time, small force
What force in an object resists stretching or pressing?
Propelling force
