Bungee Jumping

Zander  wants to build a bungee jumping tower in his back yard. He wants the ride to last at least 5 seconds. Town code says he may not build a tower more than 50 meters. Gabe said the tower would need to be more than 50 meters to get a five second ride. Dom disagrees he states that the rate of fall is just 9.8m/s 2 due to gravity,  therefore the tower would only need to be 49 meters tall. Who is correct Dom or Gabe? Would Zander be allowed to build his five second bungee jump?

nope he couldn't make it legally. The cord needs to be at least 125 meters long.

The cord would have to be over 50 meters

If the cord is 125 meters long it will be within 5 seconds but if it is shorter he will go down quicker although if the cord is to short he could be stuck and same if it is to long.

overall Dom is right and Zander can build the bungee jumper.

For relook take a look at the pic and you will see what i mean.

the bungee cord would need to be 125 meters for a second ride

Julia Ryan said...

The ride would have to be more than 50 meters because of terminal velocity and the rate of the object speeding up.

Gabe is right because he would need to accelerate and he wouldn't immediately be going that speed once he jumps.
