When a bungee cord gets longer will the bounce height vary?
Yes, the bounce height will vary based on the length of the bungee cord. A longer bungee cord will result in a higher bounce height because it allows for more stretch and potential energy to be stored before the rebound. Conversely, a shorter bungee cord will have less stretch and thus a lower bounce height.
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.
