In a perfect inelastic collision, the momentum is conserved even though the KE of the colliding body decreases. Explain.
During 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 56m/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? (Answer in one decimal place, no unit) sample answer: 1.1 x 10^3 (enter the 1.1 only)
An egg dropped from some height. If the average force was found to be 3.3 N and the time of impact is 0.08s, find its impulse.
