Given information

We have given that,A bungee jumper momentarily comes to rest at the bottom of the dive before he springs back upward.

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

The jumper is accelerated downwards because the net force acting on the jumper while falling is the weight of the body. When it reaches the bottom, there are two forces: one pointing down which is the weight of the jumper, and the other pointing upwards called the tension of the rope. The jumper falls and then moves upward, so the net upward force is not zero. Therefore, the jumper is not in equilibrium.
