Understanding the Bungee Jumper Problem: Energy Transformation and Calculations

[QUOTE="nasu, post: 6832947, member: 147320"] You can make a limitless number of assumptions. How would you know which one to select if you don't know the answer to the question? Based on just the text as is given and the values given, and with no other context, the only reasonable assumption is that the author did not think it true. If the behaviour of the cord were to be described by more than a simple spring constant, this would be given in any reasonably formulated problem. In introductory physics problems the bungee cords are just springs following Hooke's law. This were context would help. [/QUOTE]
