Buring World War 2, a military parachutist fell 0.37km from an airplane without being able to open his chute, but luckily was able to land in snow, suffering only with minor injuries. Assume that his speed at impact was 56 m/s, and his mass, including his gear was 85kg, and that the magnitude of force on him from the snow was at the survivable limit of 1.2 x 10^5 N. What is the magnitude of the impulse on him from the snow?

Check Your Understanding The U.S. Air Force uses “10gs” (an acceleration equal to 109.8m/s2 ) as the maximum acceleration a human can withstand (but only tot several seconds) aid survive. How much time must the Enterprise spend accelerating if the humans on board are to experience an average at most 10gs of acceleration? (Assume the inertial dampeners are offline.)
Check Your Understanding You probably recall that, neglecting air resistance, if you throw a projectile straight up, the time ii takes to reach its maximum height equals the time it takes to fall from the maximum height back to the starting height. Suppose you cannot neglect air resistance, as in Example 8.8. Is the time the projectile takes to go up (a) greater than, (b) less than, or (c) equal to the time It takes to come back down? Explain.
