Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 2.87CP
In the vertical jump, an athlete starts from a crouch and jumps upward as high as possible. Even the best athletes spend little more than 1.00 s in the air (their “hang time”). Treat the athlete as a particle and let ymax be his maximum height above the floor. To explain why he seems to hang in the air, calculate the ratio of the time he is above ymax/2 to the time it takes him to go from the floor to that height. Ignore air resistance.
