A basketball player jumps straight up for a ball. To do this, he lowers his body 0.270 m and then accelerates through this distance by forcefully straightening his legs. This player leaves the floor with a vertical velocity sufficient to carry him 0.940 m above the floor.
A person steps horizontally off the roof of a single-story house that is 3.1 m high. When his feet hit theground below, he bends his knees such that his torso decelerates over a distance of 0.65 m before coming to astop. If the mass of his torso is 50 kg, what is the average net force exerted on his torso over this distance?
