Textbook Question

Chapter 5, Problem 64GP

Researchers often use force plates to measure the forces that people exert against the floor during movement. A force plate works like a bathroom scale, but it keeps a record of how the reading changes with time. Figure P5.64 shows the data from a force plate as a woman jumps straight up and then lands.
