A gymnast with a mass of 55 kg flipped in the air and achieved a maximum angular velocity of 445 degrees/sec just before landing from the flip. a) What is the magnitude of the angular impulse in kg*m2/s exerted by the floor on the gymnast when they stuck the landing and came to a complete stop, if they had a radius of gyration of 0.75 meters throughout the landing and their initial angular velocity just as they hit the floor was equal to the maximum angular velocity of 445 degrees/sec?
