probably the g-force, or gravity
when you jump, you experience weightlessness, in a sense, and your internal organs will pull or push towards your feet (if jumping headfirst) or back (if horizontal) but with a reduced pressure than from say, walking or standing around.
when you suddenly decelerate, the g-force is multiplied
a short explanation would be it's like the high speed start Roller Coasters or taking off in a jet, except in a different direction. So lets say you go face first: provided you don't eat dirt or concrete or whatever your jumping over, when you slow down, all of your body fluids and organs will go from a normal position (standing before a jump) to a neutral position (the moment in air where your jump-force or how high you jumped counteracts by a ratio of 100:100 with gravity and you are weightless for a few milliseconds) where your body and it's organs and fluids will be neutral in air and float randomly, to a slight pull towards your feet (magnitude depends on your velocity:when your begging to descend towards the earth) and finally a large pull on your organs and fluids from rapidly decelerating (this will be similar to if you were strapped on the hood of a car going 80 miles per hour and all of the sudden slammed on the brakes; it is not unpleasant to most, but if you can't stand to have the blood rush to your head, maybe bungee jumping isn't right for you)

∙ 11y agothe main force is gravity, that pulls the bungee ujumper to the ground and then air resiustance comes in which balances the jumper so she doesn't sink through the ground too the centre of the earth

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.
A bungee cord begins to exert an upward force on a falinig bungee jumper?
Gravity, rope, and friction
How does the extension of a rubber band affect bungee jumping?
Extending a rubber band allows it to store more potential energy, which can provide a greater force to slow down the jumper during bungee jumping. This can lead to a smoother and more controlled descent. However, if the rubber band is extended too much, it may lose its elasticity and not provide enough resistance to safely decelerate the jumper.
Why do bungee jumpers use ropes that have small values of the force constant?
Bungee jumpers use ropes with small force constants because they need the rope to stretch and absorb the energy of their fall gradually, rather than stopping them suddenly. A smaller force constant allows for a longer period of deceleration, which reduces the stress on the body during the jump.
How does a bungee jump work long answer?
Gravity and elastic force...
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 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.
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.
How is the stretching force utilized in bungee jumping?
well if they didnt have bungee rope then all of their weight would hit them at the same time. Whereas if you have a bungee rope then it lets you take your own weight very slowly
Who is the manufacturer of task force bungee cords?
Company is called Hampton, products are with the brand Keeper.
