Consider the collision of a karate expert's hand with a concrete block. Based on the graphs in the figure below, the initial downward velocity of the fist with mass 0.50 kg is about  −12.5 m/s  and the collision time is approximately 25 ms. Find the impulse (in kg · m/s) and the average force (in N) exerted on the block by the fist during the collision. (Indicate the direction with the signs of your answers.) impulse...... kg · m/s average force....... N
