I an working on a reverse bungee problem for a project and I cannot wrap my head around the Potential + Kinetic Energy.
The problem:
A Reverse bungee is 60m tall from ground level
Mass of Passenger Car = 400kg
Original Length of Rope = 30m
Need to find Maximum Height and Maximum Speed
I've googled Elastic Potential Energy equations which have showed up a couple of results and I don't know how to use them to form it all together.
We haven't been taught how to do this as we have only been told about
Kinetic Energy = (1/2)mv^2
Potential Energy = mgh
I have tried using these 2 equations but to no luck
Thank you for any help
