As a protest against the umpire's calls, a baseball pitcher throws a ball straight up into the air at a speed of 21.5 m/s. In the process, he moves his hand
through a distance of 1.45 m. If the ball has a mass of 0.150 kg, find the force he exerts on the ball to give it this upward speed.

A swimmer has just jumped off a diving board. The swimmer has a mass of m = 56.4 kg and jumps off a board that is h = 7.15 m above the water. Exactly T = 4.1 seconds after entering the water, her downward motion is stopped.
a) Write an expression for the magnitude of the average upward force Fw exerted on her by the water in terms of the variables given in the problem statement and g (9.80 m/s2).
b) What is the magnitude of the average upward force Fw (in N) exerted on her by the water?
