About this Simulation

This simulation models the physics of bungee jumping, allowing learners to observe how gravitational potential energy converts to kinetic energy and elastic potential energy during a jump. Students can adjust initial height, rope length, and other variables to investigate energy transformations, work done by forces, and power output in real time.

Learning objectives: Understand energy conservation and transformation between gravitational potential, kinetic, and elastic potential energy | Analyse the relationship between work, force, and displacement during bungee motion | Investigate how initial conditions affect system energy and jumper safety
