Question

What happens as a bungee jumper gets closer to Earth's surface?

A. Gravity decreases
B. His mass increases
C. Air resistance decreases
D. His velocity increases

Answer 1

Velocity increases

Step-by-step explanation:

Gravity is constant, except when discussing "apparent weight"

Mass is constant here

Air resistance would actually increase

Velocity DOES increase, because Earth is pulling the jumper downwards with an unbalanced force. The unbalanced force creates acceleration (-9.81 m/s^2), which means his velocity is increasing constantly.
