A relative of yours belly flops, from a height of 2.50m (ouch!), and stops moving, after descending 0.500m underwater. Her mass is 62.5kg. What was the magnitude of her acceleration in the pool? Assume that it is constant. How long was she in the water before she stopped moving? What was the magnitude of the average net force exerted on her, after she hit the water, until she stopped?
