If the bungee cord gets longer what force will make you bounce higher and why will you bounce higher?

gravity will make you bounce higher because as cord gets longer the more force it will take to move it.

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 will bounce higher baseball soccer or a basketball?
A basketball will typically bounce higher than a baseball or soccer ball due to its higher air pressure and elastic properties of its material. However, factors such as the surface on which they bounce and the force with which they are dropped can also affect the height of the bounce.
Can a tennis ball bounce higher then a basketball?
Yes, provided that we bounce the tennis ball with enough force. Newton's laws of motions comes into play, stating that each force creates an equal and opposite reaction.
How bungee jumping work?
Gravity and elastic force.
A bungee cord begins to exert an upward force on a falinig bungee jumper?
Gravity, rope, and friction
Why do small balls bounce higher than big balls?
Bouncing is a function of the elastic qualities of the ball, due to its composition. But it takes more energy to "manually bounce" a large ball because the person bouncing it is supplying the initial force (rather than just gravity). It is easier for a person to apply a large force to a lighter, smaller ball to make it bounce higher.
Does the size of a ball effect how high it bounces?
Not to any appreciable extent. Bounce is caused by the elasticity of the material comprising the ball and the surface on which it is bounced.For example, on concrete a basketball will bounce higher than a baseball, but a golf ball--How high it bounces depends on how much force you exert on it. If you only let it drop, it will not bounce higher that the point you dropped it from and every time it bounces, it will go less and less high. anyway, the bigger the ball, the more force you will have to exert on it to make it bounce higher than the point it was dropped, or "bounced" from.
Why does a basketball bounce with more air?
The more air the higher it will bounce, the less air the lower it will bounce assuming the exact same amount of force is applied in each case. You do not want a ball that bounces too easily or one that is hard to make bounce. The reason it bounces higher with more air is because the outer cover is drawn tighter when more air is applied internally. The tighter the cover the higher it will bounce because it has more spring to it.

Why is it important that a bungee jumper be brought to a halt gradually?
To explain this, you will need to keep in mind a mathematical formula: Force applied on bungee jumper = mass of bungee jumper x (initial speed - final speed) / time taken for change in momentum F = m x (vi - vf) / t Let's say the bungee jumper was falling at an initial speed of vi. If he was to be halted, the final speed, vf = 0. If he was halted very suddenly, i.e. in a short time, the value of Force applied on the bungee jumper would be very large, which would be dangerous. Now if he was to be halted gradually over a longer period of time, the value of the force applied on him would be smaller, slowly decelerating him until rest.
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
What is the independent variable Will more air in a basketball make it bounce higher?
Yes it will because the pressure in the ball will push it up and down
