you chose option C when the bungee
jumper is going fastest I think this
will be one of the most common answers
but unfortunately it's also incorrect we
need to make a clear distinction between
velocity and acceleration velocity is
how fast something's going while
acceleration is the rate at which
velocity changes when the jumper is
going his fastest his acceleration is
actually zero after he jumps off the
platform he speeds up to a maximum
velocity at Point C but now the Rope
starts slowing him down so at Point C
he's neither speeding up nor slowing
down his velocity is not changing so his
acceleration is
zero
