A bungee cord stretches and compresses as a person of mass bounces up and down. The position of the person at time is described by:
,
where is the amplitude of oscillation, is the stiffness of the bungee cord, and is positive when the person is above the equilibrium position. If the stiffness of the bungee cord is increased ninefold (), how will this affect the velocity of the person during oscillation?
