    How far can a 55kg person fall and break and leg?

    I got credit. A little under half, but its better than nothing. Thanks again! If you could, I'm stuck on this last question too. Its finding the power it takes to move a 2300 N elevator at a constant velocity of 7.0 m/s. Work = force x distance. I figure 2300 N over 7 m = 16100 J. Power =...

    2. Oh, wait so its twice as high! Haha. Thank you so much. It was the little details that got me on that one. Just one more problem to go and I'm done!

    I tried both of those. Neither worked. Units are automatically included in the answer. It is 10:29 where I am. I'm thinking I'll just e-mail my teacher and tell him the program is wrong. It has to be!

    How far can a 55kg person fall and break and leg?

    Midnight. Its one of the last two problems I have left. I tried 37 * 10^-2 also, and it didn't work.

    How far can a 55kg person fall and break and leg?

    I've tried so many times I might not get credit for it, but I don't want to choose "show answer" in case I can still get credit for it. 55 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = exactly 539 N. 200 J / 539 N = .3710575139 They want two significant digits so I put in 3.7*10^-1, but it still said Try Again. This is...

    How far can a 55kg person fall and break and leg?

    Hi, having a problem with this question. I thought it was as simple as the conservation of energy, but I guess there is something I'm missing. The program we're using isn't accepting my answer, even when I use two significant digits. Thanks for the help, Cohort Homework Statement From...
