Why would it be a dangerous mistake for a bungee jumper to use a steel cable instead of an elastic cord?
Answer: Steel is less elastic.
Explanation: If we assume the other elastic cord is made of steel then we know that steel cable is less elastic than steel cord. This would affect the time of effect in such a way that it will decrease. Since the average force is inversely proportional to it pertaining to momentum-impact relationships. Therefore, the average force will increase resulting in the breaking of cable.
