Answer:
J = 357.5 kg*m/s
Explanation:
- The impulse exerted on Katelyn when she was on the force plate, is equal to the change in her momentum, according to Newton's 2nd Law.
- Assuming as the positive direction the upward direction (coincident with the positive y-axis) we can express the initial momentum as follows:
- By the same token, the final momentum is as follows:
- As we have already said, the impulse J is just equal to the change in momentum, i.e., the difference between (2) and (1):
