Question
A 107.5-kg rugby player is initially running at 8.5 m/s in the positive direction, but collides head-on with a padded goalpost and experiences a backward force of 1.72 × 104 N for 5.45 × 10–2 s.
a, Calculate the final velocity in the horizontal direction of the rugby player, in meters per second.

If just before contact with the ground, she has a downward speed of 7.3 m/s, then. . . (a) In a stiff -legged landing she comes to a halt in 2.0 ms. Find the average net force that acts on her during this time. ( b) When she bends her knees, Darla comes to a halt in 0.10 s. Find the average net force now. (c) During the landing, there are two forces acting on Darla: the normal force from the ground points upward, while her weight force points downward. The average net force acting on Darla includes both of these forces. Taking into account the directions of the forces, find the force of the ground on Darla in parts (a) and (b).arrow_forwardA soccer player hits a ball incoming with 2.4 m/s in the West direction.
