Pad Set 59


Momentum Physics Problem PLEASE HELP!! Cannot figure out how to set the problem up!?

A pole-vaulter of mass 59.6 kg vaults to a height of 5.9 m before dropping to thick padding placed below to cushion her fall.
(a) Find the speed with which she lands.
____ m/s

(b) If the padding brings her to a stop in a time of 0.51 s, what is the average force on her body due to the padding during that time interval?___ N

Here is a hint to consider

Everything, regardless of weight or speed falls to earth at the same constand rate

the force will be determined by the mass
