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 things use air resistance to slow down?
Objects such as parachutes, cars, airplanes, and athletes like skydivers and bungee jumpers use air resistance to slow down their speed by increasing drag force, which opposes their motion through the air. This force acts in the opposite direction to the object's motion, resulting in a decrease in speed.
Why is it easier to determine the coefficient of kinetic friction if the object moves with a constant velocity?
When an object is moving at a constant velocity, it means that the forces acting on it are balanced. In this case, the force of kinetic friction is equal and opposite to the applied force, making it easier to calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction using the known values of force and normal force.
What is the expression for force constant?
The expression for the force constant (k) in Hooke's Law is given by the equation F = kx, where F is the force applied, k is the force constant, and x is the displacement from equilibrium. The force constant is a measure of the stiffness of a spring or a bond.
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 is the spring constant when it is stretched 1.5 meters when a force of 60 N is applied to it?
To find the spring constant, we can use Hooke's Law which states that F = kx, where F is the force applied, k is the spring constant, and x is the displacement from the equilibrium position. Plugging in the values: 60 N = k * 1.5 m, we can solve for the spring constant k = 40 N/m.
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
How does a bungee jump work long answer?
Gravity and elastic force...
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.
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 does Air Force PJ stand for?
Para Jumpers, of the U.S.A.F. special forces
