A sprinter is moving to the right and only one foot is touching the ground. The sprinter’s foot pushes back on the ground horizontally with a force of 300N and down vertically with a force of 750N. The mass of the sprinter is 50 kg. We will define upward vertical as positive and rightward horizontal as positive.

a) Draw a free body diagram of the sprinter showing all external forces acting on the sprinter.

b) What is the resultant of the force that the ground applies to the sprinters foot? Hint: it is equal and opposite to the force that the foot applies to the ground.

c) What are the net horizontal and vertical forces acting on the sprinter?

d) If the mass of the sprinter is 50 kg, what are the net horizontal and vertical accelerations of the sprinter’s center of gravity?

Ateam of astronauts is on a mission to land on and explore a large asteroid. in addition to collecting samples and performing experiments, one of their tasks is to demonstrate the concept of the escape speed by throwing rocks straight up at various initial speeds. with what minimum initial speed vesc will the rocks need to be thrown in order for them never to "fall" back to the asteroid? assume that the asteroid is approximately spherical, with an average density p 3.84 x108 g/m3 and volume v 2.17 x 1012 m3 recall that the universal gravitational constant is g 6.67 x 10-11 n m2/kg2
