A youngster having a mass of 50.0 kg steps off a 1.00 m high platform. If she keeps her legs fairly rigid and comes to rest in 10.0 ms, what is her momentum just as she hits the floor? What average force acts on her during the deceleration?

    The average act on her during the deceleration is 4.47 meters per second.

    Explanation:

    Given:

    youngster mass m = 50.0 kg

    She steps off a 1.00 m high platform that is s = 1 meter

    She comes to rest in the 10-meter second

    To Find:

    The average force and momentum

    Formulas:

    p = m * v

    F * Δ t = Δ p

    vf^2 = vi^2+2as

    Solution:

    a = 9.8 m/s

    vi = 0

    vf^2 = 0+2 (9.8) (1)

    vf^2 = 19.6

    vf = 4.47 m/s.

    Therefore the average force is 4.47 m/s.
