The standing vertical jump is a good test of an athlete’s strength and fitness. The athlete goes into a deep crouch, then extends his legs rapidly; when his legs are fully extended, he leaves the ground and rises to his highest height. It is the force of the ground on the athlete during the extension phase that accelerates the athlete to the final speed with which he leaves the ground. A good jumper can exert a force on the ground equal to twice his weight. If his crouch is 60 cm deep, how far off the ground does he rise?

Newton's Second Law

Newton’s laws of motion describe the relationship between the motion of an object and forces acting on it. Newton’s law of motion has two types as follows:
