You know the acceleration due to free fall of anything is the same on earth (about 10 m/s^2) and is not affected by weight. The decceleration from when the cord starts to stretch and until it reaches max length (cord is taut) is the greater than the acceleration due to free fall ( g )since the change in velocity takes even less time when compared to the actual fall.
