-- As she lands on the air mattress, her momentum is (m v)
Momentum = (60 kg) (5 m/s down) = 300 kg-m/s down
-- As she leaves it after the bounce,
Momentum = (60 kg) (1 m/s up) = 60 kg-m/s up
-- The impulse (change in momentum) is
Change = (60 kg-m/s up) - (300 kg-m/s down)
Magnitude of the change = <em>360 km-m/s </em>
The direction of the change is <em>up /\ </em>.

(a) The plane makes 4.3 revolutions per minute, so it makes a single revolution in
(1 min) / (4.3 rev) ≈ 0.2326 min ≈ 13.95 s ≈ 14 s
(b) The plane completes 1 revolution in about 14 s, so that in this time it travels a distance equal to the circumference of the path:
(2<em>π</em> (23 m)) / (14 s) ≈ 10.3568 m/s ≈ 10 m/s
(c) The plane accelerates toward the center of the path with magnitude
<em>a</em> = (10 m/s)² / (23 m) ≈ 4.6636 m/s² ≈ 4.7 m/s²
(d) By Newton's second law, the tension in the line is
<em>F</em> = (1.3 kg) (4.7 m/s²) ≈ 6.0627 N ≈ 6.1 N
