The impulse experienced by a 70kg person landing after a jump from a height of 5m can be calculated using the equation for impulse, I = Δp = FΔt, where I represents impulse, Δp is the change in momentum, F is the force, and Δt is the time duration of the force application. To determine the impulse, one must first calculate the momentum before landing, which is influenced by gravitational acceleration. This discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding the relationship between impulse and momentum in physics.

Start with writing down the equation for impulse. Impulse= ?phintastic said:im reviewing for my final tomorrow, and there is a question that asks for the impulse experienced if a 70kg person lands on firm ground and stops after jumping from a height of 5m. what equation should i use to solve this?
