A woman of 60 kg mass jumps with stiff legs from a table of 1 m height onto a hard floor tile. During the collision, a deceleration to a state of rest occurs in a time interval of 0.005 s. Calculate: (a) the average force exerted on each foot by the ground; (b) the distance traveled by the body during the collision.
Starting from rest, a 68.0 kg woman jumps down to the floor from a height of 0.790 m, and immediately jumps back up into the air. While she is in contact with the ground during the time interval 0 < t < 0.800 s, the force she exerts on the floor can be modeled using the function F = 9,200t − 11,500t2 where F is in newtons and t is in seconds. (a) What impulse (in N · s) did...
Starting from rest, a 68.0 kg woman jumps down to the floor from a height of 0.650 m, and immediately jumps back up into the air. While she is in contact with the ground during the time interval 0 < t < 0.800 s, the force she exerts on the floor can be modeled using the function F = 9,200t − 11,500t2 where F is in newtons and t is in seconds.

A woman of mass 50 kg jumps off the bow of a 60 kg canoe that is intially at rest. If her velocity is 4.5 m/s to the right, what is the velocity of the canoe after she jumps? Answer in units of m/sˆı.
A very large pumpkin with a mass of 31.0 kg is released from rest from a certain height and hits the ground. During the collision with the ground, the pumpkin comes to rest in a time of 0.040s. The average force exerted on the pumpkin by the ground is +12,000 N, where the upward direction is taken to be the positive direction. a. With what velocity did the pumpkin hit the ground? Assume that the only force acting on the...
a person jumps from the roof of a house 2.8 m high when he strikes the ground below, he bends his knees so that his torso decelerates over an approximate distance of 0.70 m if the mass of his torso ( excluding legs ) is 42 kg. find his velocity before his feet strike the ground the average force exerted
This problem is taken from Ahlborn's Zoological Physics, P 5.2. Two young people jump down from a height of h = 2.0 m onto the forest floor which has a mud hole and a rocky flat. The boy (M = 70 kg) lands with stiff legs on the muddy ground, which "gives" so that he depresses the ground by Delta_y = 5 cm when being decelerated from the impact velocity U_0 to 0. Determine the impact speed U_0. Calculate the...
(A). Calculate the impulse imparted to a 70-kg person landing on a firm ground after jumping from a height of 5.0 m. Then estimate the average force exerted on the person's leg if the landing is (b) stiff-legged and (c) with bent legs. in (b) assume the center of mass of the body moves 1.0 cm during impact and in (c), about 50 cm.
A person of mass 60 kg jumps from a height of 3 m. She lands on her feet but her knee joints each compress by 0.5 cm. What force did she put on her knees?
i got 1.4 but it was incorrect and i am not sure why. Please help! READING 2 Materials fracture when the force per unit area, called STRESS, exceeds a critical value. In general, the critical stress depends on the direction as well as the magnitude of the force. For example, bones break differently when subjected to torsional (twisting) stress than when subjected to compressional (or squeezing) stress. Let us consider compressional stress. Wet human bone for 20-39 year olds has...

For example, bones break differently when subjected to torsional (twisting) stress than when subjected to compressional (or squeezing) stress. Let us consider compressional stress. Wet human bone for 20-39 year olds has an ultimate compressive strength of 1.6x104N/cm2 [8]. Consider a person who falls from a height to the...
