Bungee Jump

     Aedin is planning on building a bungee jump tower in his backyard. He wants a ride that last for five seconds. The town says he may not build a tower more than 50 meters tall. Avery says the tower would need to more than 50 meters tall to get a five second ride. Macey disagrees saying the rate of fall is just 9.8 meters per second squared due to gravity.  Therefore the tower would only need to be 49 meters tall. Who is correct Avery or Macey? Would Aedin be allowed to build his five second bungee jump?

Avery 'cause it's me

yes adein would be able to build his jumping thing.

How are we sopose to know

Jack Hanson said...

Avery is right because macy is wrong.

Macey because friction and gravity will be pulling on the ride slowing it down.

I think that this girl is really tall and that Macey is right because she is my friend and she is a girl.

Macey why because friction and gravity will be pulling on the ride slowing it down.

Macey because friction and gravity will be pulling on the ride slowing it down.

Macey is correct because friction and gravity will be pulling on it slowing it down.

Allie H. said...

Macey would be right because gravity and friction would be pulling down on the ride, so it would slow down.

I think Macy because gravity and friction will be pulling the ride down and slowing it down.

JACK A said...

Macey is right because 50 meters is closer to a 5 second ride and no Aedin could not do the bunge jump.

macey is right because 9.8 times 5 is 49 meters.And he wants a FIVE second ride.

Macey is right bc gravity would slow it down:)

Muscles said...

It can't be five seconds cuz if you saw the picture the ride would need to be 125 M to be 5 seconds

Macy because of friction and gravity will slow it down.

I think that Macey would be right because gravity and friction would be pulling down on the ride so it would slow down.

Hailey R said...

Macey is correct because gravity will pull him down fast so here should be able to build the tower.

macey is right because of air friction

no i want to build a wall

Ethan F. said...

This is easy math. Macey is right.

Macey C. said...

I am correct because 9.8 ÷ 49 = 5.

macey cause friction and gravity will be pulling on the ride slowing it down.

Ethan R said...

avery just cause i can and no aedin would not

Macey because friction and will be pulling on the ride and slowing it down.

Brianna G said...

I think that Macey is correct because of the friction would slow it down so that he wouldn't hit the ground as early.

Erica C. said...

Macey is right and he can still jump his bungee jump.

Macey's right

abigail cornish said...

macey is correct cause the friction and gravity is slowing down when it goes down.

Macey is right, because of friction and gravity.

Alissah H. said...

Macey would be right because gravity and friction would be pulling down on the ride, so it would slow down.

I think MAcey is right because of gravity

Emily S said...

Avery would be right. Aedin would not be allowed to build his tower.
