A 60.0 kg person bends his knees andthen jumps straight up. After his feet leave the floor, his motionis unaffected by air resistance and his center of mass rises by amaximum of 14.9 cm. Model the floor ascompletely solid and motionless.

a) Does the floor impart impulse to the person?
b) Does the floor do work on the person?
c) With what momentum does the person leave the floor?
d) Does it make sense to say that this momentum came from the floor? Explain your answer.
e) With what kinetic energy does the person leave the floor?
f) Does it make sense to say that this energy came from the floor? Explain your answer.
