1) Assuming constant acceleration after his feet first touch the ground, what is the average force exerted on the parachutist by the ground?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.

- Many physical properties, such as force and mass, cannot be measured directly. Rather, some other physical property is measured and the desired physical property is computed from the results. For example, a bathroom scale does not actually measure mass or "weight," but rather the compression distance of a spring. The numerical values on the scale are calibrated from the compression distance using basic physics principles such as Newton's second law. Coefficients of friction cannot be measured directly. In this problem, we are going to learn how we can indirectly measure the coefficient of kinetic friction between two surfaces by directly measuring the expansion of a spring. Consider a 5.45 kg5.45 kg block that is dragged by a spring on a (relatively) frictionless horizontal surface at constant velocity. Suppose the block reaches a rough patch and the spring stretches by 5.25 cm5.25 cm. Compute the coefficient of kinetic friction ?μ between the block and the rough patch if the spring…arrow_forwardDetermine the force Q-> when the block moves with constant velocity.

Its mission is to assess the ability of an impact to deflect the path of an asteroid. DART was launched on a Falcon 9 rocket.

Give your answer to an appropriate number of significant figures. B. Assuming that the initial acceleration remains constant, how fast will the rocket be moving after 2 seconds? C.

Would the speed after 2 seconds be lower, the same or higher?arrow_forward
