Bungee cord lengths are calculated by much more than just the height of the drop. You also have to calculate your running distance to the jump, your weight, and height. It is best to talk to a professional or a company that specializes in training bungee jumping to find what is going to be perfect for you.

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 type of energy is stored in a stretched bungee cord?
Potential long time, small force
What are cord use for?
Securing loads in or on trucks. Sometimes people tie one end of very long bungee cords to bridges, and the other end to their leg, and then jump from the bridge. MOST times the bungee cord, stretched to its maximum, flexes back, saving the person from certain doom. And this is called "Bungee jumping". But, as this is a human exercise, sometimes it all ends SO tragically.
Is a 100 foot Ethernet cord to long?
depends on how far your modem is from what your connecting it to.
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.
What is the best extension cord to plug in cars for winter?
The best extension cord is a short one so that voltage drop does not occur. The cord should be able to reach the supply receptacle and be just long enough to reach the car. Do not use a 50 foot cord and roll it up if the vehicle is just 10 feet away. This cord should have a wire size so that is can handle the load of the block heater. A #12 AWG extension cord will handle a 200 watt block heater very nicely.
Does a long extension cord draw more power than a short extension cord?
No. However, a longer extension cord has higher resistance for a given wire gauge or size compared to a short extension cord and the voltage at the load device may drop so low that it doesn't work properly. This may also be accompanied by a noticeable rise in the temperature of the extension cord. As a rule, use the shortest extension cord that will get the job done. If the extension cord must be long, use one that has heavy gauge wire to minimize voltage drop at the load.
Why is the voltage at the end of a long extension lead used with an electric drill less than the mains supply voltage?
Resistance in the length of wire that makes up the extension cord causes voltage to drop. But it needn't be a problem with the right extension cord. For an electric drill, up to a 25 foot cord of 16 gauge wire will cause a voltage drop so small as to be negligible. For 50 feet, switch to a 14 gauge cord. For heavier power tools (circular saw in particular) you should use a 14 gauge extension from the get-go.
Is it safe to bungee jump after brain surgery?
Its fine!! As long as you dont have sex before bungee jumping!
Will foot drop caused by a fragmented herniated disc go away?
I had a herniated disc in the L5 S1 region that burst and fragmented...surgery went well but I am left with drop foot...will I regain full use of my foot...if so, how long will it take?
Can using to many extension cord reduce the pressure on the pool pump?
Yes its called voltage drop. The longer the extention cord the lower the volatage gets.. causing the motor to run at the wrong rpms causing a pressure drop.. long term will burn up the pump.
How do you figure quarter inch drop per foot?
Use a level which is at least a foot long. Hold the level in the horizontal level position, and measure the 1/4" drop from the position of the level which is one foot from the end. If you have a four foot level, and the space to use it, you can easily measure one inch of drop per four feet, which is the same as 1/4" per foot.
