Answer:
v = 18.5 m /s
Explanation:
The velocity of the jumper will go on increasing until his weight is more than the restoring force created in the bungle.
mg = kx
50 x 9.8 = 100 X
X = 4.9 m
Total fall = 15 + 4.9 = 19.9 m
kinetic energy gained due to fall by 19.9 m
= mgh = 50 x 9.8 x 19.9 = 9751 J
energy lost due to stored elastic energy in bungie
= 1/2 k x²
= .5 x 100 x 4.9²
= 1200.5 J
Remaining kinetic energy = 9751 - 1200.5 = 8550.5 J
1/2 m v² = 8550.5
.5 x 50 x v² = 8550.5
v² = 342
v = 18.5 m /s
