Maria stands on her bathroom scale and records the reading on the scale as her sister drops a 2.0-kg textbook is dropped into her hands. The reading on the scale every 0.05 seconds is recorded on the graph below.Estimate the speed the book was moving before it made contact with Maria's hands.InstructionsIn a neat and organized fashion, write out a solution which includes the following:A sketch of the physical situation with all given physical quantities clearly labeled.A force diagram showing the forces exerted on Maria while she is catching the book, a force diagram showing the forces exerted on the book while it is being caught, and a motion diagram and velocity-time graph representing the motion of the book as it is caught.Use your representations to determine the speed of the book before it made contact with Maria's hands. Show all steps you take and explain the thought process behind each step as you work.Evaluate your answer to determine whether it is reasonable or not. 550500450400350300250200150100500.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 1 1.1 1.2Time (s)Scale Reading (N)

Problem 1CQ: Estimate the order of magnitude of the length, in meters, of each of the following; (a) a mouse, (b)...

In a neat and organized fashion, write out a solution which includes the following:

A sketch of the physical situation with all given physical quantities clearly labeled.
A force diagram showing the forces exerted on Maria while she is catching the book, a force diagram showing the forces exerted on the book while it is being caught, and a motion diagram and velocity-time graph representing the motion of the book as it is caught.
Use your representations to determine the speed of the book before it made contact with Maria's hands. Show all steps you take and explain the thought process behind each step as you work.
Evaluate your answer to determine whether it is reasonable or not.
