According to the impulse-momentum equation Ft = change in (mv), a bungee jumper in fall has momentum which is reduced by the force F exerted by the bungee cord. If m is the mass of the jumper, then v in the equation is the speed of the

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the impulse-momentum equation Ft = Δ(mv), "v" represents the velocity of the object whose momentum is changing, which in this context is the bungee jumper. The equation does not concern the speed of the cord.

According to the Impulse-Momentum Equation Ft = Change in (Mv)
