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
What type of energy is stored in a stretched bungee cord?
Potential long time, small force
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.
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.
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 the bungee cord gets longer is there a difference in the bounce height?
Yes. The farther down gravity pulls you the farther you'll go back up.
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.
How long of a bungee cord do I need for a 20 foot drop?
Bungee cord lengths are calculated by much more than just the height of the drop. You also have to calculate your running distance to the jump, your weight, and height. It is best to talk to a professional or a company that specializes in training bungee jumping to find what is going to be perfect for you.
Can you bungee jump off the St Lousi arch?
No. Although many things hurtling through space DO bounce off of the Atmosphere and the Stratosphere, you cannot stick a bungee cord to the stratosphere and jump off, the cord would fall along with you, and you would die.
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 is a bungee cord?
An elastic cord, sometimes used for "Bungee jumping", and smaller versions are used for securing loads in truck beds.
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.
A bungee cord begins to exert an upward force on a falinig bungee jumper?
Gravity, rope, and friction
What do you get when you cross an owl and a bungee cord?
Animal Abuse.
Where can one find statistics on how often bungee cords snap while in use?
No information is available about how often bungee cords snap while in use. Most fatal bungee cord accidents are caused by human error and not the cord.
