Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around calculating the rebound distance and force in a bungee jumping scenario, focusing on parameters such as spring constant, cord length, and obstacles in the environment.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are attempting to clarify the definition of "rebound force" and are questioning the sufficiency of the provided information to determine rebound height, considering factors like damping.

Discussion Status

Some participants have raised questions about the clarity of the original poster's inquiry and the need for additional information, such as a diagram, to better understand the problem context. There is ongoing exploration of the concepts involved without a clear consensus yet.

Contextual Notes

Participants note the importance of the damping coefficient and the presence of an obstacle that must be avoided, which adds complexity to the calculations being discussed.

Hie all, curently i working on a mini project which require us to design a bungee jumping game where we had to decide all the data by myself.

here i got a few question want to ask n hope someone can help me a bit..
a) how to calculate the rebound force and distance he will rebound??as i givin the k = 150 N/m, original cord length = 17m, elongation = 23m..n the distance between the platform and the ground = 45m.

b)if there is a obstacle is 5m from the platform, how to avoid it??

1. What do you mean by "rebound force" ? Please define this clearly.

2. There is not enough info to determine the rebound height. That is a function of the damping coefficient of the bungee cord, and the answer in the absence of damping will be the original height.
 
hie there..sorry for the unconvenient. I want to find out the maximum rebound height since i wil have a obstacle 5m below the jumping platform and need to avoid it. i know after the cord reach the maximum length, the cord wil retract to it's original length, which mean 17m. But when the cord retract, there is a acceleration.. so there is a force when the cord is retract.
 
It's hard to understand the question without a picture. Can you attach one ?
