Wiley E. Coyote Question 2022/04/14
Email your answer to me.
I will post the answer around April 23.

Out in the west,  where Wiley E. Coyote lives, there is a very
narrow deep canyon. At the top of the canyon there is a bridge
crossing it; at the bottom there is a stream, very pretty with
clear water, deep pools, and some water-falls. However, it is,
essentially, inaccessible. But Wiley wants to get to the stream,
and take pictures of it, close up. Genius that he is, he figures
a way to do it:
He buys a (very long) rubber rope [i.e.: the type used for bungee
jumping]; ACME brand, of course. Then attaches it to the bridge,
and very carefully lowers himself down. Then he hangs down there,
about 200 m below the bridge, and comfortably watches the stream
and takes pictures, hanging on the bunjee cord harness.

While he is down there, the road-runner happens to cross the
bridge, and sees a string on the road. Confusing it with a worm,
he tries to eat it. But it turns out that this string pulls the
release mechanism for the bungee cord, which then detaches from
the bridge. This happens at time t = 0.

Now the question: let z = vertical coordinate, z = 0 = height at
which the bridge sits, and z = w(t) the position of Wiley.
For t < 0, w = - 200 m.
What is the value of w = w(t) for 0 < t < 2 sec? <##############
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Note: use real physics to answer. Not the weird physics in the
Wiley E. Coyote cartoons. Also: justify it; no guessing!
