Can bungee jumping have gravitational potential energy and how?
Yes, bungee jumping involves potential energy, specifically gravitational potential energy. When the jumper is hoisted up to a significant height before plunging down, they accumulate gravitational potential energy due to their elevated position above the ground. This potential energy is then converted into kinetic energy as they fall, creating the thrilling bungee jump experience.
Identify the type of energy stored in a streched bungee cord?
The type of energy stored in a stretched bungee cord is elastic potential energy. This energy is stored in the cord when it is stretched and can be released when the cord is allowed to contract back to its original length, such as when a person jumps off a platform attached to the bungee cord.
How do you call the person who jumps from a plane?
A person who jumps from a plane is called a skydiver.
Where would it be possible to book a bungi jump online?
You can book a bungee jump online at the GetYourGuide Website and at HuluTrip. You can also book bungee jumps on the Levenger website and at Bungee America.
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
Why a long jumper runs before he jumps?
to build up momentum and it gives him more height therfore hed jump further
What is the person called that jumps off high mountains?
bunjie jumper
How do you bungee jump off of a chair?
You put the chair on the top of a building or a bridge so you can bungee jump off the chair.
How many bungee jumps end in death?
Around 1 in every 2000,000 jump! that's almost 0%
When someone jumps what kind of energy is that?
When someone jumps, they are using their muscle energy to push off the ground and propel themselves into the air. This kinetic energy is converted from the potential energy stored in their muscles when they bend their legs before jumping.
Why did it get the name bungee jumping?
Because the first bungee jumps were done on giant versions of the common bungee cords that people use for everything from keeping an overstuffed trunk lid down, to attaching luggage to a luggage rack. They are called Bungee cords. The first jumps were done on large versions of those cords... 5/8" to-3/4" to- 1" inch diameter. Made primarily for the military for heavy duty applications such as attaching heavy equipment such as tanks to parachutes for equipment drops. So since the cords they did these first jumps from were called "bungee cords" they named the new activity "bungee jumping" Then about 8 yrs later after "bungee jumping" had caught on and had spread to the U.S. where the first commercial bungee jumping business had already taken off. Down under a New Zealander had decided to get in on the new craze and began trying to figure out a new system of cords to perform the same jumps. He found that you could buy the same latex rubber in bulk, that was the same as the rubber inside the "bungee" cords. It came in long continuous length ribbons. He found a way to wrap it around a spool on each end, round and round and then finally tying it off. The cord was then stretched out and bound with the same rubber in a dual helical binding to keep it from flying apart and the jumper getting caught up in the rubber during the rebound. These cords have different characteristics during the jump than the machine made "bungee" cords. Bungee cords are made with a machine called a braider. The rubber is stretched tight before going through the braider where the machine weaves a braided sheath around the stretched rubber.After the cord is finished the rubber inside stays stretched out tight so the jumps done on these can be made using a longer cord, resulting in a longer freefall. The cords designed in New Zealand are spongier and stretch longer, so a shorter cord has to be used. Since these cords are different from the usual bungee cords that had already existed he felt they should have a different spelling...hence the name and spelling...Bungy
What energy does the student have before he jumps of the bridge?
The student has potential energy before jumping off the bridge, which is due to their height above the ground. This potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy as they fall.
