A 44.0 kgkg parachutist is moving straight downward with a speed of 3.90 m/s

If the parachutist comes to rest with constant acceleration over a distance of 0.850 mm , what force does the ground exert on her?

If the parachutist comes to rest over a shorter distance, is the force exerted by the ground greater than, less than, or the same as in part A? Explain..

    An elevator is pulled upward so it moves with increasing upward speed?the force exerted by the cable on the elevator is constant and greater than the downward gravitational force exerted by Earth. When the elevator is moving up medium-fast, the force exerted by the cable on the elevator changes abruptly to just balance the downward gravitational force of Earth?the sum of the forces that the cable and Earth exert on the elevator is now zero.

    A car is moving at a relatively slow speed, let's say a good running speed for a short distance sprint, when it hits a solid wall (top figure). The car comes to a complete stop, with a somewhat shorter front section now. The driver, who was not wearing a seat belt, tries to hold himself off the steering wheel. Let us find the necessary average force acting on the 86-kg driver that is necessary to bring him to a complete...
