A person walks 50m [up] a flight of stairs in 1.0 min, then sits and waits at the edge of drop for 125s while being hooked up to a bungee cord. They jump off, fall 55m in 5.0s, then stops, bouncing back 10m and comes to a rest. a. Determine the total distance and displacement covered by the motion b. After jumping off, what is the person's downward velocity at 4.0s? c. Draw a representative position vs time graph for the motion described above and the corresponding V vs T graph. Describe the motion for each part of the position-time graph
