Homework Statement
A person jumps from a window into a fire safety net. The person drops 15.0 meters, stretching the net 1.0 meter. What is the average deceleration before coming to rest?
Homework Equations
All of the constant acceleration equations should apply here.
The Attempt at a Solution
Well it would be sad to call this an attempt. But here goes.
I collected everything I knew about the motion.
The person is in free fall, therefore I know that Vminimum is at t=0
V 1=0 m/s a=9.8 m/s and the total displacement I believe should be 16.0 meters because the net stretched 1.0 meter whether or not that's relevant I'm not sure.
So where to go from here is my real problem.
Thanks
