The virtual Bungee jumper L (cord free length) d (cord stretch length) * Schematic depiction of a jumper having fallen a jump height, L + d. Bungee Jump Geometry Potential Energy Potential energy is the energy an object has stored as a result of its position, relative to a zero or equilibrium position. The principle physics components of bungee jumping are the gravitational potential energy of the bungee jumper and the elastic potential energy of the bungee cord.
