How bungee jumping work?
Gravity and elastic force.
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.
Why is it important that the ropes stretch during a bungee jump?
The rope stretching during a bungee jump helps to absorb and dampen the jumper's kinetic energy, reducing the impact force on the body when they reach the bottom of the jump. This stretching process also allows for a smoother deceleration, which is crucial for the jumper's safety and comfort.
Is stretching a force?
yes, stretching is a 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.
A bungee cord begins to exert an upward force on a falinig bungee jumper?
Gravity, rope, and friction
What is a stretching or pulling force?
A stretching force, also known as tension, is a force that elongates or stretches an object. A pulling force is a force exerted on an object to move it towards the direction of the force. Both forces involve pulling or stretching an object.
What is a stretching force called?
A stretching force is called tension. It is a force that pulls or elongates an object without changing its shape.
