A bungee jumper attains a speed of 35.6 m/s before the tension in the bungee cord begins to slow the jumper down. Once the bungee cord starts developing tension, it takes 6 sec before the tension is great enough to start pulling the jumper up. a) Assuming negligible air resistance, what is the time duration and b) distance of free fall? c) What is the average acceleration of the jumper after the bungee develops tension?

The velocity of a parachutist as a function of time is given by v = vf + (v0 - vf)e-t/2.5, where t = 0 s corresponds to the instant the parachute is opened, v0 = 160 km/h is the velocity before opening of the parachute, and vf = 18 km/h is the final (terminal) velocity. What acceleration does the parachutist experience just after opening the parachute? (m/s^2)
