Question

Consider a bungee jumper that jumps off a bridge. He does not reach terminal velocity & we will ignore air resistance. #1 While the bungee jumper is falling, his velocity is directed? Up or down?............................................................................. #2 When he reaches the end of his cord, he begins to slow. While slowing down the direction of his velocity is? up or down?......................................................................................................................................................................................................... #3 When he nears the end of his cord, he begins to slow. While slowing down the direction of his acceleration is? up or down? ............................................................................................................................................................................................................. #4 When he is nearing the end of his cord, he begins to slow. While slowing down the direction of his net force is? up or down? ............................................................................................................................................................................................................. #5 Which force must be larger, the one directed up or down? ............................................................................................................ #6 Which force then is larger? His weight or the tension from the bungee? ...................................................................................
