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 81.8-kg man just before contact with the ground has a speed of 6.44 m/s. (a) In a stiff- legged landing he comes to a halt in 4.00 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 0.200 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 i (b) Number i (c) Number i Units Units Units + + +

A 105-kg rugby player is initially running at 7.5 m/s in the positive direction, but collides head-on with a padded goalpost and experiences a backward force of 1.76 × 104 N for 5.55 × 10–2 s. Calculate the final velocity in the horizontal direction of the rugby player, in meters per second. vf =
The last segment of the triple jump track-and-field event is the jump, in which the athlete makes a final leap, landing in a sand-filled pit. Assuming that the velocity of a 80-kg athlete just before landing is 9 m/s at an angle of 35° with the horizontal and that the athlete comes to a complete stop in 0.22 s after landing, determine the horizontal component of the average impulsive force exerted on his feet during landing.
A baseball (m= 150 g) approaches a bat horizontally at a speed of 43.9 m/s (98.2 mi/h) and is hit straight back at a speed of 52.6 m/s (118 mi/h). If the ball is in contact with the bat for a time of 1.27 ms, what is the average force exerted on the ball by the bat? Neglect the weight of the bat, since it is so much less than the force of the bat. Choose the direction of the incoming ball as the positive direction. Number i Units VO Vf
After falling from rest from a height of 28 m, a 0.35-kg ball rebounds upward, reaching a height of 18 m. If the contact between ball and ground lasted 2.5 ms, what average force was exerted on the ball? ( enter the magnitude)
After falling from rest from a height of 25 m, a 0.30-kg ball rebounds upward, reaching a height of 15 m. If the contact between ball and ground lasted 2.1 ms, what average force was exerted on the ball? (Enter the magnitude.)
After falling from rest from a height of 31 m, a 0.60-kg ball rebounds upward, reaching a height of 21 m. If the contact between ball and ground lasted 2.5 ms, what average force was exerted on the ball?
A hockey player slaps a puck into a cushion, which brings the puck to rest. If the puck's initial velocity was +40 m/s and it has a mass of 170 g, what force does the cushion apply to the puck? Assume the cushion acts on the puck for 0.03 s and the surface that the puck slides on is frictionless.
A Maxim machine gun fires 431 bullets per minute. Each bullet has a mass of 12g and a velocity of 686m/s.What is the average force that the impact of these bullets exerts on a target? Assume the bullets penetrate the target and remain embedded in it. Calculate answer to one decimal.
Your friend is catching a falling basketball after it has passed through the basket. Her hands move straight down while catching the ball. It takes about 0.10 s for the player to lower her hands to stop the ball. Assume the mass of the ball is 0.60 kg, and that the ball has fallen a vertical distance of 1.2 m before reaching the player's hand. Determine the average force that her hands exert on the ball while catching it.
A baseball (m = 148 g) approaches a bat horizontally at a speed of 40.7 m/s (91.1 mi/h) and is hit straight back at a speed of 51.6 m/s (115 mi/h). If the ball is in contact with the bat for a time of 1.45 ms, what is the average force exerted on the ball by the bat? Neglect the weight of the bat, since it is so much less than the force of the bat. Choose the direction of the incoming ball as the positive direction.
Michael fell asleep while driving home from school. His 1255 kg car hit a guardrail while moving at 15.98 m/s. The guardrail exerted a 6.110E4 N force on the car for 0.1233 s. After the car hit the guardrail, how fast was it moving?
A golf ball of mass 4.50x10^-2 kg is struck by a club. Contact lasts 2.00x10^-4 s, and the ball leaves the tee with a horizontal velocity of 50.0 m/s. Compute the average force the club exerts on the ball by finding its average acceleration.
