[SOLVED] IMPULSE, i need HELP!
Until he was in his seventies, Henri LaMothe excited audiences by belly-flopping from a height of 11 m into 30 cm. of water (Figure 9-49). Assuming that he stops just as he reaches the bottom of the water and estimating his mass to be 76 kg, find the magnitudes of the impulse on him from the water.
Impulse = Force * Time
Ug = mgh
Ug = (76)(9.81)(11-0.3) = 7,977.492
