A basketball player jumps straight up for a ball. To do this, he lowers his body 0.330 m and then accelerates through this distance by forcefully straightening his legs. This player leaves the floor with a vertical velocity (a) Calculate his velocity (in m/s) when he leaves the floor. (Enter a number.) 4.25 ?m/s (b) Calculate his acceleration (in m/s²) while he is straightening his legs. He goes from zero to the velocity found in part (a) in a distance of 0.330 m. (Enter a number.) 27.37 ?m/s² (c) Calculate the force (in N) he exerts on the floor to do this, given that his mass is 102 kg. (Enter a number.) 2791.74 XN

I need help with part (c). For some reason my answer is incorrect.Here is the problem:A basketball player jumps straight up for a ball. To do this, he lowers his body 0.330 m and then accelerates through this distance by forcefully straightening his legs. This player leaves the floor with a vertical velocity sufficient to carry him 0.920 m above the floor.(a) Calculate his velocity (in m/s) when he leaves the floor. (Enter a number.)(b) Calculate his acceleration (in m/s2) while he is straightening his legs. He goes from zero to the velocity found in part (a) in a distance of 0.330 m. (Enter a number.)(c) Calculate the force (in N) he exerts on the floor to do this, given that his mass is 102 kg.
