In a common but dangerous prank, a chair is pulled away as a person is moving downward to sit on it, causing the victim to land hard on the floor. suppose the victim falls by 0.50 m, the mass that moves downward is 70 kg, and the collision on the floor lasts 0.082 s. what are the magnitudes of the (a) impulse and (b) average force acting on the victim from the floor during the collision?

a) Impulse |J|= 219.4 kgm/s

b) Force F = 2672 N

Explanation:

Given

Height of fall h = 0.50 m

Mass M = 70 kg

Period of collision t = 0.082 s

Solution

The final velocity of the person v is zero since the person will come to rest.

The initial velocity of the person can be calculated by using the "law of conservation of energy".

Initial Kinetic energy = Final potential energy

a) Impulse

J = final momentum - initial momentum

Magnitude of impulse

b) Force

c. 7/3

step-by-step explanation:

a rational number is like pi- it is a repeating decimal.

a. is -1.8

b. 2.236068

c. 2.3333333333333333333

d.   is 3

i hope that ! =)

the box does not move because you need to use a force greater than 300 n. you are only using 50 n. it needs to at least be 301 n for the box to move because then it is an unbalanced force and it will move the way that the greater force is pushing it. if you use only 300 n it will be a balanced force and will not move because the force you are exerting on the   box is the same as its force.

hope this !

im sorry if i went too in depth, i am going to include a link to a video on khan academy that will explain this.   hope that you like the video and that it explains more in detail to you.

that is the link.
