A basketball player jumps straight up for a ball. To do this, helowers his body 0.290 m and then accelerates through thisdistance by forcefully straightening his legs. This player leavesthe floor with a vertical velocity sufficient to carryhim 0.820 m above the floor.
(a)
Calculate his velocity (in m/s) when he leaves the floor.
m/s
(b)
Calculate his acceleration (in m/s2) while he isstraightening his legs. He goes from zero to the velocity found inpart (a) in a distance of 0.290 m.
m/s2
(c)
Calculate the force (in N) he exerts on the floor to do this,given that his mass is 118 kg.
