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 is energy possessed by moving or falling bodies?
kinetic energy
What kind of energy exists when a person jumps down a building?
his potential energy from standing on the building turns to kenetic energy when he is falling
Elastic energy is the total potential and kinetic energy in a system?
No. For example a falling stone is converting potential energy of gravitational attraction into kinetic energy, and there is no elastic energy.
Is the energy generated from falling water in a hydroelectric plant the same more or less than falling water?
It's less. There are "resistance" losses in any system, so not all the energy of the falling water can be changed into electric power. Certainly we can't get more energy out than is put in. Perpetual motion isn't an option here.
What energy is a falling apple in a tree?
From gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy and if you want it until it drops onto the ground , (continue from kinetic energy) heat energy + sound energy.
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.
What type of energy is stored in the rubber rope at the bottom of a bungee?
That is potential energy stored in the elastic bungee rope, which turns into kinetic as the rope contracts and the rider starts to rise again.
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.
What is an example of potential energy into kentic energy?
A falling object.A falling object.A falling object.A falling object.
Energy transformations for a falling parachute?
a falling parachute, energy before would be gravitation and energy after would be movement.
What type of energy is stored in a stretched bungee cord?
Potential long time, small force
Is geothermal energy caused by falling water?
No, hydroelectric energy is caused by falling water.
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 happens the the kinetic energy of a falling object?
If the object's falling energy increases (this would happen if the object is already falling downward, and air resistance is small), then the kinetic energy will increase.
What energy begins with an A?
atomic energy
A falling book in mid-air has what kindof energy?
A falling book in mid-air has what kind of energy?
Falling water is an example of what energy?
mechanical energy
