In the long jump final at the Olympics, a jumper launches herself at her max speed of 10 m/s. She generates a vertical push-off force by her legs of two times her own weight (2W).

A. Draw a clear body force diagram for the jumper.

B. Computes the range of the jump.

C. Using Newton's Laws, show that the acceleration she generates is equal to 1g.

D. What is the jumper’s initial velocity and launch angle?

E. If the acceleration is experienced over a distance of 60 cm (how far her body crouches and then springs upward), what is her initial velocity?
