Halliday, Resnick & Walker β Center of Mass and Linear Momentum: Problem 26
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 (a) impulse and (b) average force acting on the victim from the floor during the collision?
π Solution Approach
Given: , a, 0.50 m, 70 kg
Find: (a) impulse and; (b) average force acting on the victim from the floor during the
