A bungee jumper hangs from a bungee cord with zero velocity. If the bungee cord has a spring constant of 18 N/m and the jumper has a mass of 113 kg, how stretched is the bungee cord past its natural length?A.6.27 mB.61.5 mC.1.56 mD.18.2 m

Question

Lukakosir · Answer

First u need to to get how much force does jumper have

Lukakosir · Answer

U get need multiplay his weight by 9,81

Lukakosir · Answer

U will get 1108,53 N

Lukakosir · Answer

Then u devide 1108,53 N by 18N/m

It would be wise to set up the formulas so the asker knows why the operations are being performed

Since the velocity is 0, the spring force and the force of gravity are equal and opposite in direction

Therefore, F = kx (the spring force) and F = mg (the force of gravity) are equal

set kx = mg and solve for x (the displacement)
