“…Several assumptions in this model of bungee jumping can be removed so that the results of models and experiments are in better agreement. Kockelman and Hubbard [7] included the effects of the elastic properties of the rope, jumper air drag, and jumper push-off. Strnad [8] described a theoretical model of a bungee jump that takes only the mass of the bungee rope into account.…”

“…But even if they have the knowledge of calculus, it still does not give formulae for the vertical position, velocity, and acceleration as functions of time. To obtain these, the nonlinear, second-order, ordinary differential equation (7) in y(t) must be solved for the initial values a(0) = v(0) = 0. It suffices to find a numerical solution and the modelling tool of COACH 6 brings this within reach of secondary school students.…”
