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 kind of force produces a constant acceleration?
a constant force.
What is the SI unit of force constant?
I am not sure what you mean with "force constant". The SI unit of force is the newton.
What type of energy is stored in a stretched bungee cord?
Potential long time, small force
What pulls you up?
Any force that originates above you does. It could be the tension in a bungee, in the harness of a parachute, etc.
Why areal velocity is constant in central force?
If the force is constant then this will make the velocity of the object spinning constant as well, and for the velocity to be constant all the forces must be balanced and therefore constant
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 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 most important force to long jumpers?
Momentum
What force is used by bungee jumpers?
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.
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
How does length of spring coil affect the force constant?
The force constant is unaffected; It is a constant.
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 kind of force produces a constant acceleration?
a constant force.
How are constant force is related to mass and acceleration?
Force = (mass) times (acceleration) Constant force produces constant acceleration.
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.
