I've come across a few problems where it seems like momentum is acting like a force. For instance take a man wearing springs on his shoes who jumps high in the air and lands. The force down is mg and as he compresses the springs the force up is kx. At some point mg=kx but how can the man continue to compress the springs? Where does this force come from? Does this have to do with momentum or am I way off here? Thank you
