Chris jumps off a bridge with a bungee cord (a heavy stretchable cord) tied around his ankle . He falls for 15 m before the bungee cord begins to stretch. Chris's mass is 75 kg and we assume the cord obeys Hooke's law, F=−kx , with k = 60 N/m .
Question
Chris jumps off a bridge with a bungee cord (a heavy stretchable cord) tied around his ankle . He falls for 15 m before the bungee cord begins to stretch. Chris's mass is 75 kg and we assume the cord obeys Hooke's law, F=−kx , with k = 60 N/m .
Solution
Sure, but you haven't asked a specific question related to the text. Are you asking for the force exerted on Chris when the bungee cord starts to stretch? Or perhaps the total distance Chris will fall? Please provide more details so I can assist you better.

Don (82.8 kg) is going bungee jumping. The bridge he will jump off of is 54.0 m above the ground. After Don jumps, he comes to a spot 10.3 m above the ground before the bungee pulls him back.How much elastic energy is in the bungee cord when Don is 10.3 meters above the ground? If 6,200 J of the elastic energy (use your number from above) is converted to internal energy, to what height will Don return when the bungee bounces him back up? If Don drops his phone (0.18 kg) when he is 28.4 m in the air, what speed will it reach before it hits the ground?
