A 66 g beanbag is dropped and stops upon impact with the ground. If the impulse measured during the collision is 0.33 N·s, from what height above the ground was the beanbag dropped?

Also, just wanted to say for the billionth time that your videos are helping an AWFUL LOT for the AP Physics 1 exam. You truly make students LOVE the physics. I think its all about your enthusiasm to teach accurate and understandable physics❤

LOL. Ah the crazy stuff people do in high school. Enjoyed the video, also last semester, I introduced everyone to the mass party. Was great fun when we all started dancing when we cancelled out mass, everyone thought we were nuts. :)

Also, could we not have assumed the force of impact to be the max force on the graph, which is at about 3 milliseconds on the graph, and get the velocity final for part 1 thru UAM equations? I tried that, and my velocity final is surprisingly small. Could you explain why that idea was so dumb?

Mr. P, even I got 1.3 m as the answer using conservation of mementum and conservation of mechanical energy. But if this answer is wrong, how do we calculate the correct answer?

Have you considered the possibility that there is negative mass involved?

Thanks for this, helped with a force-plate calculation (and error explanation) for code in python. 5/5 stars :)
