It's very important to understand the nature and laws of physics! Everything that we as a species does is in essences dependent on the laws of physics. A lot of what we enjoys as activity and sport is grounded in the laws of motion, momentum and gravity. One particular activity/sport that is physics dependent is bungee-jumping. The need to understand free fall (gravity), momentum, acceleration, elasticity, potential and kinetic energy is vital to the safety of all people involved. Your task is to have Barbie or Ken, take the plunge and bungee jump off the back stair well. It will be very important to the safety and well being of the participants (Barbie & Ken) that you have done the proper calculations to ensure a safe and exciting jump. The goal is to have your Barbie or Ken, come closest to the bottom step without injuring (touching the stairs) themselves. A successful attempt will meet all the requirements that were assigned in the lab. Happy jumping!!
