A force platform is a tool used to analyze the performance of athletes measuring the vertical force that the athlete exerts on the ground as a function of time. Starting from rest, a 67.0-kg athlete jumps down onto the platform from a height of 0.720 m. While she is in contact with the platform during the time interval 0 < t < 0.800 s, the force she exerts on it is described by the function

F = 9 200t − 11 500t2

where F is in newtons and t is in seconds.

(a) What impulse did the athlete receive from the platform?

N · s up


(b) With what speed did she reach the platform?

m/s


(c) With what speed did she leave it?



(d) To what height did she jump upon leaving the platform?

Explanation:

Given:

[tex]m=67kg[/tex],[tex]h_i=0.720m[/tex],[tex]t_1=0s[/tex],[tex]t_2=0.8s[/tex]

a).

[tex]F=9200t-11500t^2[/tex]

[tex]I=\int\limits^a_b {F} \, dx =\int\limits^.8_0 {9200t-11500t^2} \, dt[/tex]

[tex]I=4600t^2-3833.33t^3|0,0.8[/tex]

[tex]I=981J[/tex]

b).

[tex]v_f^2=v_i^2+2*a*y[/tex]

She began in rest so vi=0

[tex]v_f=\sqrt{2*g*y}=\sqrt{2*9.8m/s^2*0.720m}=\sqrt{14.112 m^2/s^2}[/tex]

[tex]V_f=3.756m/s[/tex]

c).

Impulse total=momentum total

[tex]I_i-I_f=m_1*v_1-m_1*v_f[/tex]

[tex]981-(67kg*9.8m/s^2*0.8)=67kg*v_1-67*kg*(-3.756m/s)[/tex]

Solve to v1

[tex]v_1=\frac{204.068kg*m/s}{67kg}[/tex]

[tex]v_1=3.04m/s[/tex]

d).

[tex]v_f^2=v_i^2+2*a*y'[/tex]

[tex]v_f=0[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{-v_i^2}{2*g}=\frac{-(3.04m/s)^2}{2*-9.8m/s^2}[/tex]

[tex]y'=0.47m[/tex]
