A 70kg person jumping down from a 3m wall hits the ground at 7.70m/s. He hits the ground with stiff legs and stops in .024 seconds. What is the force of impact in Newtons
1 answer
The force of impact in Newtons is approximately 17,500 Newtons. This can be calculated using the equation F = m*a, where F is the force of impact, m is the mass of the person (70kg), and a is the acceleration (7.70m/s/0.024s).
