Question

A woman is conquering her fear of heights by going bungee jumping. She has a mass of 90 kg. She falls from the tower for a few seconds before the bungee cord begins pulling back on her with a force of 500 N. What will the magnitude of her acceleration be after the bungee cord begins pulling on her

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

weight of woman acting downwards = 90 x 10 = 900 N

force by bungee cord in upward direction = 500 N

net force = 900 - 500 = 400 N in downward direction

acceleration in downward direction

= 400 / 90

= 4.44 m /s²
