    Depth Impulse
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a physics homework problem involving a paratrooper who fell 370 meters and landed in snow, requiring calculations for the minimum snow depth to stop him safely and the impulse from the snow. Participants emphasize the importance of using relevant equations, such as impulse and acceleration formulas, to solve the problem. There is some tension as users express frustration over the original poster's urgent tone and lack of initial contribution to the discussion. Key equations mentioned include F=ma and impulse calculations, with users helping clarify the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. The conversation concludes with users exchanging gratitude for assistance and discussing their academic backgrounds.

that does not matter, and i go to a very big college--not a school (do you mean high school??) so there is no chance i know you because you have asked me before where i live, and i do not live in that state. now leave me alone, please.
