Kind: captions Language: en 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
