All questions need to have both qualitative and quantitative models included for credit. Your friend Anna who is a MHS basketball player and Arcadia University women's basketball commit, has a vertical that is just over 0.5 meters.
(a) Estimate the force that she exerts on the surface of the basketball court as she jumps if she pushes off the ground for 0.3 seconds. State all your assumptions explicitly.
(b) Compare this force with uhh the force that the surface exerts on Anna. Describe all the assumptions used in your estimate and state how each assumption affects the result.
(c) Repeat the problem looking at the time interval when she is landing back on the floor.
