Question Number 97629 by peter frank last updated on 08/Jun/20

Answered by Rio Michael last updated on 09/Jun/20

 mass of man = 100 kg  height jumped = 5 m  time = 0.4 s   Velocity of the dude v = (√(2gh)) = (√(2 × 9.8 ms^(−2)  × 5m)) = 9.9 ms^(−1)   Force F = ((mΔv)/t) = ((m(v_2 −v_1 ))/t) = ((100 kg(0 −9.9) ms^(−1) )/(0.4 s)) ≈−2500 N   the negative indicates that the direction of the force opposes motion.  weight of dude = mgh = 100 kg × 9.8 ms^(−2) = 980 N  ⇒ Average force = W + F = 2500 N + 980 N = ......

thanks Mr W for spoting that

wrong.  mgh is never a force!

$${wrong}. \\ $$$${mgh}\:{is}\:{never}\:{a}\:{force}! \\ $$

hahh sorry that should be an error, due excitement  of the question.  Bro, Weight of the dude = mg = 100 kg ×9.8 ms^(−2)  = 980 N
