    The document describes a graph showing the velocity of a boy over time as he lands from jumping off a wall without bending his knees. It asks the reader to: 1) Identify that the slope of the velocity-time graph can be used to determine acceleration. 2) Calculate that the boy's deceleration was 20 m/s^2 based on the graph. 3) Calculate that the force acting on the boy was 1400 N based on his mass and deceleration. It also asks the reader to explain that the boy should bend his knees to absorb the impact force and reduce the chance of injury.
