A cat drops from a shelf 4.2 ft above the floor and lands on all four feet. His legs bring him to a stop in a distance of 12 cm.
Calculate his speed when he first touches the floor (ignore air resistance). Express your answer in SI units.
Calculate how long it takes him to stop.
Calculate his acceleration (assumed constant) while he is stopping. Express your answer in SI units.
Calculate his acceleration (assumed constant) while he is stopping, in g’s.

A man of mass 86 kg drops to a concrete patio from a window 0.43 m above the patio. He neglects to bend his knees on landing, taking 2.5 cm to stop. (a) What is his average acceleration from when his feet first touch the patio to when he stops? (b) What is the magnitude of the average stopping force exerted on him by the patio?
