Identify the type of energy stored in a streched bungee cord?
When a bungee is stretched, the elastic wants to contract. This is in the form of potential energy, much in the same way a weight held above the ground has potential energy.
When a bungee cord gets longer will the bounce height vary?
Yes, as the bungee cord gets longer, the bounce height will become greater. The object attached to the bungee cord will fall longer before being snapped back up by the bungee cord, and in turn the object will bounce higher before being pulled back down by the bungee cord.
What does potential energy have to do with bungee jumping?
Potential energy is all about height. The higher the object the more potential energy. So the higher you start the farther you will stretch the cord
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.
What is the difference between moving straps and bungee cords?
Moving straps have thick bands and are not stretchable, they usually have a belt type tightener. A bungee cord has hooks at the end and is stretchy for pulling things tight.

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
Are there physics behind bungee jumping?
The energy changes that happen during a bungee jump are:Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) changes into elastic potential energy and kinetic energy as the string starts to stretch and the person starts to fall.When the person is at the bottom, GPE is changed into elastic potential energy as the string is stretched further.As the person rebounds, elastic potential energy is changed into kinetic energy and GPE as the person moves upwards and they get higher.
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.
When a bungee cord gets longer will the bounce height vary?
Yes, as the bungee cord gets longer, the bounce height will become greater. The object attached to the bungee cord will fall longer before being snapped back up by the bungee cord, and in turn the object will bounce higher before being pulled back down by the bungee cord.

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 are cord use for?
Securing loads in or on trucks. Sometimes people tie one end of very long bungee cords to bridges, and the other end to their leg, and then jump from the bridge. MOST times the bungee cord, stretched to its maximum, flexes back, saving the person from certain doom. And this is called "Bungee jumping". But, as this is a human exercise, sometimes it all ends SO tragically.
What is a bungee cord?
An elastic cord, sometimes used for "Bungee jumping", and smaller versions are used for securing loads in truck beds.
What does potential energy have to do with bungee jumping?
Potential energy is all about height. The higher the object the more potential energy. So the higher you start the farther you will stretch the cord
How can you die from bungee jumping?
the cord can snap
Who sells the cheapest bungee cord?
Bungee cord is available for the lowest prices from your nearest army surplus store. If you wish to buy the cord on line ebay and craigslist both offer a wide supply.
