ok thank you. that solved the problem...sorta.

yes, but it would never stop without these losses?

so without these losses, the rope would be in constant motion, and never stop?

but wouldn't the height they return to be affected by gravity, therefore lowering the height he would return to? 1/2 k x^2 = m g h h= 40000/ 800 = 50m and this would not be correct.

we've been studying te physics involved in bungee jumping. We went to a bungee site, and recorded data, such as length of rope, weight of jumper, distance to fall, etc. With the data we collected, I've been able to determine spring constant, equilibrium point, force exerted etc. But I've...
