    Bungy Jumping: Max Elastic Potential Energy Explained

    Suppose a boy is playing bumgy jump. When he jumps out and reachs the lowest bottom (instanteous at rest), there is zero K.E. At that time, there is max. elelastic potential energy in the string. Which energy is changed to it(max. elelastic potential energy) :confused: ?

    Did Ancient Olympians Jump from Heights with Weights?

    I have a theory it states that temples where constructed using a series’ of ramps and platforms between each temple column . Eventually creating a total square platform for the next layer of temple drums to be rolled into position . As the temple got higher the builder would jump from the...

    Finding the Right Parameters for a Safe 40m Bungee Jump

    Ok everyone I have a task for homework which asks me to: Determine the parameters for a rope suitable for you to use to make a safe 40m jump. At the moment, I'm unsure of the physics behind bungee jumping, but I know the parameters that I'd have to consider would be the length of the rope...

    Max Height to Jump Without Breaking Leg Bones

    Could someone help me set up this problem and give some helpful hints. From what maxium height can a 75-kg person jump without breaking the lower leg bone on either leg? Ignore air resistance and assume the CM of the person moves a distance of .60m from standing to the seated position (that...

    Solving the Jump Height Mystery: How to Calculate with Unknown Mass

    The question is: If a sprinter running at 10 meters per second could convert his kinetic energy into upward motion, how high could he jump? How do I solve this if I use the KE = 1/2 mv^2 I don't know what the mass is?

    Hooke's law with a bungee jump

    Hi my problem is that I have to model a bungee jump and enter it into a flowchart. I've worked out the free-fall part, but my problem is that the jumper has now reached the point where hookes law comes into play. The jumper mass is 90kg The unstretched length of the rope is 15m(of neglible...

    Projectile motion of a salmon jump

    I am having problems with this section. Any help is appreciated. Salmon often jump water falls to reach their breeding ground. Starting 2 m from a waterfall .55 m in height, at what minimum speed must a salmon jumping at an angle of 32 degrees leave the water to continue upstream? The...
