In one recorded leap, a 45 kg impala went into a deep crouch, pushed straight up for 0.21 s, and reached a height of 2.5 m above the ground. To achieve this vertical leap, with what force did the impala push down on the ground? What is the ratio of this force to the antelope’s weight?

- A man wants to move a heavy wooden crate (82 kg) across a wooden floor.

What is the Normal Force exerted by the floor on the crate? What is the size of the Friction Force felt by the crate, if the crate moves at a constant speed in a straight line?
