An athlete with a mass of 62 kg jumps and lands on the ground on his feet. Th e ground exerts a total force of 1.1 x 10 ^ 3 N [backward 55°up] on his feet. Calculate the acceleration of the athlete.

Answer 1

The acceleration of the athlete can be calculated using the equation F = ma, where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration.

a = F/m

a = (1.1 x 10^3 N) / (62 kg)

a = 17.74 m/s^2
