Current Attempt in Progress
A student (m = 58 kg) falls freely from rest and strikes the ground. During the collision with the ground, he comes to rest in a time of
0.04 s. The average force exerted on him by the ground is +18000 N, where the upward direction is taken to be the positive direction.
From what height did the student fall? Assume that the only force acting on him during the collision is that due to the ground.

Point 1
Point 2
Point 3
An I-beam is driven into the ground using a pile driver. The mechanism drops a massive steel
hammer onto the beam from a height onto the beam. The 297 kg hammer is moving at 8.15 m/s at
point 2 in the figure, and stops at point 3 after driving the beam d = 6.28 cm deeper into the ground.
What is the magnitude of the force that the hammer exerts on the beam? (1 m = 100 cm)
For a large force, it is convenient to use units of kiloNewtons. (1 kN = 1000 N)
