In Section 1.4, we considered the collision of a karate expert’s hand with a concrete block. Based on the graphs in Figure 1.31, the initial downward speed of the fist with mass 0.75 kg is about -13 m/s and the collision time is approximately 25 ms. Find the impulse and the average force exerted on the block by the fist during the collision.
