i rounded of course.. sigfigs.. 1.1914 = 1.2
The forum discussion revolves around solving a physics homework problem involving a paratrooper who fell 370 meters and landed in snow, suffering minor injuries. Key parameters include a terminal speed of 58 m/s, a mass of 85 kg, and a maximum survivable force of 1.2 x 105 N. The participants collaboratively derive the minimum depth of snow required to stop the paratrooper safely and calculate the impulse experienced upon impact. The final depth calculated is approximately 1.1914 meters, and the impulse is determined to be 4930 kg·m/s.
PREREQUISITESStudents in physics courses, particularly those studying mechanics, as well as educators and tutors looking to enhance their understanding of impulse and motion dynamics.

Dick said:Apologies. I'm not used to getting hammered by two people at the same time. I get confused. You seem to be asking the same questions and I thought you might be working on the same problem. This is a really good reason not the break into somebody else's thread with your own problem.
