If a person can have a hang time of .75 seconds, how long would it take that individual to go from the ground to the highest point of their jump?
I am wondering what hang time means. It this time of flight?
hang time = time(upwards) +time (downwards),
time(upwards) = time (downwards),
therefore,
time (upwards) = 0.75/2 =0.375 s.
To calculate the time it takes for an individual to reach the highest point of their jump, we'll assume that the vertical motion follows a symmetrical parabolic path. In this case, the total time it takes will be twice the hang time.
Given that the hang time is 0.75 seconds, we can calculate the time to reach the highest point using the formula:
Time to reach the highest point = 2 * Hang time
Substituting the given value:
Time to reach the highest point = 2 * 0.75 seconds
Time to reach the highest point = 1.5 seconds
Therefore, it would take that individual 1.5 seconds to go from the ground to the highest point of their jump.
