Abstract :
The aim of this project is to develop an understanding of the mathematics and physics involved in a bungee jump, in order to gain a better understanding of the concepts involved. We will use Newtons law and utilize techniques needed to solve second order differential equations. For simplicity we will regard the jumper as a point mass in one dimension and we will make the assumption that wind resistance has a linear relationship to speed. We will also assume that the bungee cord obeys Hookes laws and doesnt break.
