When jumping straight down, you can be seriously injured if you land stiff-legged. One way to avoid injury is to bend your knees upon landing to reduce the force of the impact. A 88.1-kg man just before contact with the ground has a speed of 3.07 m/s. (a) In a stiff- legged landing he comes to a halt in 4.70 ms. Find the magnitude of the average net force that acts on him during this time. (b) When he bends his knees, he comes to a halt in 0.219 s. Find the magnitude of the average net force now. (c) During the landing, the force of the ground on the man points upward, while the force due to gravity points downward. The average net force acting on the man includes both of these forces. Taking into account the directions of the forces, find the magnitude of the force applied by the ground on the man in part (b). (a) Number (b) Number i (c) Number i Units Units Units

Daredevil Darla has heard that to avoid injury when jumping out of her rocket she should bend her knees upon landing. Darla has a mass of 74 kg. If just before contact with the ground, she has a downward speed of 7.3 m/s, then. . . (a) In a stiff -legged landing she comes to a halt in 2.0 ms. Find the average net force that acts on her during this time. ( b) When she bends her knees, Darla comes to a halt in 0.10 s. Find the average net force now. (c) During the landing, there are two forces acting on Darla: the normal force from the ground points upward, while her weight force points downward. The average net force acting on Darla includes both of these forces. Taking into account the directions of the forces, find the force of the ground on Darla in parts (a) and (b).
Question 5: A ball of mass m collides with a wall with initial velocity -voj (and then it rebounds). The force acting on the ball by the wall during the collision is given by F = (At + Bt2)j where A and B are positive constants. Find the velocity of the ball after the collision. The ball is in contact with the wall 10-2 seconds (Assume that the gravitational force is negligible compared with force F).
In April 1974, John Massis of Belgium managed to move two passenger railroad cars. He did so by clamping his teeth down on a bit that was attached to the cars with a rope and then leaning backward while pressing his feet against the railway ties.The cars together weighed 700 kN (about 80 tons). Assume that he pulled with a constant force that was 2.5 times his body weight, at an upward angle u of 30 from the horizontal. His mass was 80 kg, and he moved the cars by 1.0 m. Neglecting any retarding force from the wheel rotation, find the speed of the cars at the end of the pull.
