A 75 kg man jumps from a window 2.0 m above a sidewalk. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s² . a) What is his speed just before his feet strike the pavement? Answer in units of m/s. b) If the man jumps with his knees ana an- kles locked, the only cushion for his fall is approximately 0.44 cm in the pads of his feet. Calculate the magnitude of the average force exerted on him by the ground in this situation. Answer in units of N.

It’s commonly understood that “It’s not the fall that kills you, it’s the sudden stop at the end.” Afew summers ago I was roofing my house – the peak of which is roughly 18 feet above theground. Let’s say I got so caught up in the joy of shingling, I carelessly stepped off the roof,falling to the pavement. Striking the ground, if my head came to rest over a distance of 8 mm(that distance would be the compression of my skull, BTW),a. What (large!) deceleration would I be experiencing (in m/s2)?b. Over what time interval would that deceleration take place?
A motorcycle daredevil plans to ride up a 2.00 m high 26.0° ramp, sail across a 10-m-wide pool filled with hungry crocodiles, and land at ground level on the other side. He has done this stunt many times and approaches it with confidence. Unfortunately, the motorcycle engine dies just as starts up the ramp. He is going 14.9 m/s at that instant, and the rolling friction of his rubber tires is not negligible. Assuming that the local acceleration due to gravity is -9.80 m/s2, calculate the landing point (in m) relative to the 10.0 m edge of the pool. (-1.0 m means he was 1.0 m short and in the pool, +1.0 m means he landed 1.0 m past the edge). The coefficient of rolling friction for rubber on ramp is 0.02.
A rescue pilot drops a survival kit while her plane is flying at an altitude of 2500.0m with a forward velocity of 95.0m/s. If air friction is disregarded, how far in advance of the starving explorer's drop zone should she release the package?
Suppose that a projectile of mass m moves in a verticalplane in the atmosphere near the surface of the earth underthe influence of two forces: a downward gravitationalforce of magnitude mg, and a resistive force FR that isdirected opposite to the velocity vector v and has magnitudek v2 (where v = |v| is the speed of the projectile;see Fig. 4.1.15). Show that the equations of motion of theprojectile are mx'' = -kvx' , my'' = -kvy' -mg,
You're an investigator for the National Transportation Safety Board, examining a subway accident in which a train going at 90 km/hkm/h collided with a slower train traveling in the same direction at 24 km/hkm/h . Your job is to determine the relative speed of the collision, to help establish new crash standards. The faster train's "black box" shows that it began negatively accelerating at 2.1 m/s2m/s2 when it was 52 mm from the slower train, while the slower train continued at constant speed. What do you report ?
