A 60 kilogram student jumps down from a laboratory counter. At the instant he lands on the floor hus speed is 3 meters per second. If the student stops in .2 second what is thw average force of floor on the student

As per Newton's law rate of change in momentum is net force

so we can write it as

F = \frac{dP}{dt}

F = \frac{m(v_f - v_i)}{\Delta t}

now we know that

m = 60 kg

v_f = 3 m/s

v_i = 0

\Delta t= 0.2 s

from above equation

F = \frac{60(3 - 0)}{0.2} = 900 N

so he will experience 900 N force in above case

In the figure above, a spaceship (not shown) from point P is traveling along the dashed line towards the planet. The net gravitational force at point P is 4.0 x 1010 N. Assume that any motion of the planet is negligible.

If the spaceship stops halfway between the planet and point P, what happens to the magnitude of the net gravitational force exerted on the spaceship by the planet?
