Calculating the Force of Impact when Stepping off a Wall
A 73 kg mr.p steps off a 73.2 cm high wall. If mr.p bends his knees such that he stops his downward motion and the time during the collision is 0.28 seconds, what is the force of impact caused by the ground on mr.p?

Why Are Planetary Orbits Elliptical?
Planetary orbits are elliptical because gravitational interaction over time changes the delicate balance of mass, velocity and distance from the star which otherwise keeps planetary orbit circular. For a very long time, from Ptolemy to...
