Drag from the air increases the duration someone will fall. Also there is a cap speed one can fall at known as Terminal Velocity. These two factors combined allow people to sky dive without instantly hitting the ground.

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 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.
What materials do you use to make a jumper?
Well usally jumpers are made out of wool but some jumpers are not made out of wool some jumpers can be made out of all different materials like cotton,polyester,arcrylic and elastane and all different materials.Its weird isn't it because usally jumpers are made out of wool but some jumpers are not made out of wool
When a 50.0 kg person hangs from a M bungee cord it stretches to a length of 32.0 m. how much work is required to stretch the cord by this much?
You would want to know the change in length of the cord. Use the acceleration of gravity of 9.8 m/s2 . Force = mass X acceleration. For a spring, a bungee cord, Force = constant x Distance. The trick is it attains a length of 32 m, but was it 1 m to start with or 31 m, etc.? Seems to be missing some information for a definite answer. Work = force x distance (for a constant force). For a spring, most usually, Work = force X distance /2 (because the force starts out at zero and climbs in a straight line with distance). I hope this was helpful.
What are the metric unit and the tool used to measure the force of an object?
The metric unit force of an object is N ( newton). the tool used to measure the force of an object are force gauges ,torque gauges ,force testers.
What kind of music do bungee jumpers like?
Bungee jumpers like Big Band music.
What kind of music do a bungee jumpers like?
Bungee jumpers like Big Band music.
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.
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.
How do you spell bungee?
That is the correct spelling of "bungee" as used in jumping, or for the elastic cords.
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
What is the form you sign when bungee jumping?
Most bungee places require jumpers to sign release forms and waivers before they are allowed to jump. You should also check that the site is certified and safe before plummeting to the earth.
What is the most important force to long jumpers?
Momentum
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
What is a bungee cord?
An elastic cord, sometimes used for "Bungee jumping", and smaller versions are used for securing loads in truck beds.
