An athlete with a mass of 65.0 kg is running at a horizontal velocity of 10.5 m/s before jumping at the takeoff line. When he arrives at the takeoff line, he stays in contact with the ground for 0.185 seconds before taking off at a 50.0 degree angle with a velocity of 12.5 m/s. Determine the vertical component of the average impulsive force exerted on the athlete by the ground. 10.5 m/s Take- off line 12.5 m/s 50°

Question

Show the complete solution for the problem below (typewritten as much as possible).
Hints: This problem is non-impulsive so the impulse from the weight of the man is not negligible.
          Draw momentum-inertia diagram (apply momentum-inertia theorem).

An athlete with a mass of 65.0 kg is running at a horizontal velocity of 10.5 m/s before jumping at the takeoff
line. When he arrives at the takeoff line, he stays in contact with the ground for 0.185 seconds before taking off
at a 50.0 degree angle with a velocity of 12.5 m/s. Determine the vertical component of the average impulsive
force exerted on the athlete by the ground.
