A force platform measures the horizontal force exerted on a person's foot by the ground. In FIGURE 9-26 we see force-versus-time data taken by a force platform for a person who starts jogging at time t = 0. The impulse imparted to the jogger from t = 0 to t = 0.6 s is 198 N ∙ s.

(a) What is the average force exerted on the jogger from t = 0 to t = 0.6 s?

(b) If the jogger's change in speed during this time period is 2.69 m/s, what is the jogger's mass?

750 500 250 0.3 Time (s) 0.5 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.6 Horizontal force (N)

750 500 250 0.3 Time (s) 0.5 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.6 Horizontal force (N)
