A 55 kg gymnast lands stiff-legged on the floor and changes her horizontal velocity from -6 m/s to zero in 0.17 seconds. Compute the average resultant force working on the jumper. If she increased the impact time to 0.22 s, what happens to the resultant force working on the gymnast (answer with a number [solving with 0.22 s as the time] and an explanation)?
