In some amazing situations, people have survived falling large distances when the surface they land on is soft enough. during a traverse of eiger's infamous nordvand, mountaineer carlos ragone's rock anchor gave way and he plummeted 515 feet to land in snow. amazingly, he suffered only a few bruises and a wrenched shoulder. assuming that his impact left a hole in the snow 3.6 ft deep, estimate his average acceleration as he slowed to a stop (that is while he was impacting the snow). pick a coordinate system where down is positive.

Aspecial electronic sensor is embedded in the seat of a car that takes riders around a circular loop-the-loop ride at an amusement park. the sensor measures the magnitude of the normal force that the seat exerts on a rider. the loop-the-loop ride is in the vertical plane and its radius is 23 m. sitting on the seat before the ride starts, a rider is level and stationary, and the electronic sensor reads 740 n. at the top of the loop, the rider is upside down and moving, and the sensor reads 370 n. what is the speed of the rider at the top of the loop?
