A 42.0-kg parachutist is moving straight downward with a speed of 3.85 m/s.
(a) If the parachutist comes to rest with constant acceleration over a distance of 0.750 m, what force does the ground exert on her?
(b) If the parachutist comes to rest over a shorter distance, is the force exerted by the ground greater than, less than, or the same as in part (a)? Explain. |
