A typical hip pad can reduce the person's speed of falling to 1.3m/s over a distance of 2.0 cm. find the acceleration (assumed to be constant) of this person's hip while she is slowing down and the force the pad exerts on it.
M of person = 55kg
Distance fell = 1.0m
Time until impact = 0.35 seconds
Initial velocity = 3.43m/s
This is the second half of a problem, I couldn't write the whole thing. Any help would be appreciated, I'm not sure what to do. Thanks!
