84 kg athlete has his center of gravity 1.19 meters above the ground in a standing position (height that person comes off the ground during a jump). During a squat jump, he crouches down so that his centre of gravity is 0.75 meters above the ground. As he jumps, he exerts an average force of 1280 Newtons against the ground. You can think of this average exerted force as the average normal force or average ground reaction force being read by the force plate during the takeoff phase of the jump.

A 13-kg dog jumps up in the air to catch a ball. The dog's center of mass is normally 0.20 m above the ground, and he is 0.50 m long. The lowest he can get his center of mass is 0.10 m above the ground, and the highest he can get it before he can no longer push against the ground is 0.40 m If the maximum force the dog can exert on the ground in pushing off is 2.1 times the gravitational force Earth exerts on him, how high can he jump? Express your answer with the appropriate units. .

You have been called to testify as an expert witness in a trial involving a head-on collision. Car A weighs 1515 lb and was traveling eastward. Car B weighs 1125 Ilb and was traveling westward at 45.0 mph. The cars locked bumpers and slid eastward with their wheels locked for 22.5 ft before stopping. You have measured the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the pavement to be 0.750. How fast (in miles per hour) was car A traveling just before the collision? (This problem uses English units because they would be used in a U.S. legal proceeding.) speed of car A: mph
