Determining a model to predict the dynamic stretch of a bungee cord

چکیده
We have set about the goal of developing a bungee jump system that will provide an ideal experience for a falling egg by maximizing the passenger’s free fall time, minimizing the force it experiences during deceleration, and not allowing the passenger to hit the ground. In order to develop an ideal bungee system, we must first determine the properties of our bungee cord. Under the assumption that our cord behaves similarly to a spring, we have begun to analyze the properties of our cord in terms of Hooke’s law. According to Hooke’s law, the stretch x of an ideal spring is proportionally related to the restoring force F that acts against the pulling force of a weight attached to a hanging spring or cord. For an ideal spring, these variables are related by a spring constant k in the following equation:

How to Determine Stretch of a Bungee
This experiment was set up to explore the physics of a bungee jump. The goal of the experiment was to develop a method to isolated variables of a model bungee system as to gain insight the relationships between different parts of the bungee system as a whole. Specifically our experiment aimed to determine an appropriate way to determine the stiffness of a bungee cord. One of the most important ...
متن کاملBungee running: a further report.
Further to the report from Queen Mary's NHS Trust on bungee running affecting children, we present three cases of injury in adults. Two cases of injury presented to Noble's (Isle of Man) Hospital and one to Whiston Hospital, Merseyside. In all three cases, the competitors were trying to stretch the 'bungee' to grasp a pint of beer as a prize, much enthusiasm being shown by spectators. All injur...

متن کاملA New Dynamic Random Fuzzy DEA Model to Predict Performance of Decision Making Units
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a methodology for measuring the relative efficiency of decision making units (DMUs) which ‎consume the same types of inputs and producing the same types of outputs. Believing that future planning and predicting the ‎efficiency are very important for DMUs, this paper first presents a new dynamic random fuzzy DEA model (DRF-DEA) with ‎common weights (using...
متن کاملThe effect of pinna reflex and dynamic stretch on spike discharge of single ?-axons and spindle afferents in caudal muscle spindles in rat
The ?-axons supplying muscle spindle (MS) induce a particular pattern of activity in spindle Ia and II afferents on contraction. From a dynamic viewpoint, the Ia shows increasing spike rates, but II-afferents do not show any activity. For evaluation of nerve fiber activity, spike amplitude (SA) is suggested to measure it as well as its benefit of diagnosing clinical symptoms. This paper aims to...
