A 75. kg person jumping from a 1.00 10 3 m cliff will reach a terminal
Question:
A 75. kg person jumping from a 1.00 × 103 m cliff will reach a terminal speed of 50. m/s and uses a 1.00 × 102 m bungee cord to slow the descent. The bungee cord exerts a force F proportional to its extension, where F (in newtons) = (5.0 N/m) × (extension in m) and is designed to extend by 5.00 × 101 m in the course of bringing the user to a stop just above the ground. Is the maximum deceleration in g’s experienced by the falling person more or less than the maximum deceleration experienced by a parachutist undertaking the same leap (excluding landing forces)?
