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.
What type of energy is stored in a stretched bungee cord?
Potential long time, small force
Identify the type of energy stored in a streched bungee cord?
When a bungee is stretched, the elastic wants to contract. This is in the form of potential energy, much in the same way a weight held above the ground has potential energy.
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.

A bungee cord begins to exert an upward force on a falling bungee jumperWhere did all the energy go?
The energy didn't "go" anywhere. It gets its energy from someone letting it go. It all depends on how much force you put on it.
Are there physics behind bungee jumping?
The energy changes that happen during a bungee jump are:Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) changes into elastic potential energy and kinetic energy as the string starts to stretch and the person starts to fall.When the person is at the bottom, GPE is changed into elastic potential energy as the string is stretched further.As the person rebounds, elastic potential energy is changed into kinetic energy and GPE as the person moves upwards and they get higher.
What is a bungee cord?
An elastic cord, sometimes used for "Bungee jumping", and smaller versions are used for securing loads in truck beds.
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
How can you die from bungee jumping?
the cord can snap
Who sells the cheapest bungee cord?
Bungee cord is available for the lowest prices from your nearest army surplus store. If you wish to buy the cord on line ebay and craigslist both offer a wide supply.
A bungee cord begins to exert an upward force on a falinig bungee jumper?
Gravity, rope, and friction
