Chapter 5, Problem 62GP
BIO || A 65.0 kg parachutist falling vertically at a speed of 6.30 m/s hits the ground, which brings him to a complete stop in a distance of 0.92 m (roughly half of his height). Assuming constant acceleration after his feet first touch the ground, what is the average force exerted on the parachutist by the ground?
