Is what's on the book. I too, find it not to make much sense. :(

Using I = m*\Delta v I get \Delta V = 15.1 m/s \frac {I}{m} = \Delta v \frac {981.5 N/s}{65 kg} \equiv \Delta v \Delta v \equiv 15.1 m/s So Delta V would be the landing speed since when she starts falling down the velocity would be 0. Or would \Delta v = 15.1 m/s be the difference in...

Good day, I have a homework problem I'd like help with. I got into getting the impulse (not sure if correct, though), but don't really know how to get the rest of the things. Any tips on what direction I should be going are appreciated. Homework Statement Starting from rest, 65kg athlete...
