CP BIO A Standing Vertical Jump. Basketball player Darrell Griffith is on record as attaining a standing vertical jump of 1.2 m (4 ft). (This means that he moved upward by 1.2 m after his feet left the floor.) Griffith weighed 890 N (200 lb). (a) What was his speed as he left the floor? (b) If the time of the part of the jump before his feet left the floor was 0.300 s. what was his average acceleration (magnitude and direction) while he pushed against the floor? (c) Draw his free-body diagram. In terms of the forces on the diagram, what was the net force on him? Use Newton’s laws and the results of part (b) to calculate the average force he applied to the ground.

If she had been wearing a seatbelt experts believe the net force Diana would have experienced would be along the lines of 18,000 N. What would be the rate of deacceleration have been?

- The head injury criterion (HIC) is used to assess the likelihood of head injuries arising from various types of collisions; an HIC greater than about 1000 s is likely to result in severe injuries or even death. The criterion can be written as HIC = (aavg/g)2.5Δt, where aavg is the average acceleration during the time Δt that the head is being accelerated, and g is the free-fall acceleration.

What is the HIC in this collision?arrow_forwardA flea jumps by exerting a force of 1.02 x 10-5 N straight down on the ground.
