Calculate the hang time of a person who moves 3 m horizontally during a 1.25-m high jump. What is the hang time when the person

moves 6 m horizontally during this jump?

The duration of time for which an object stays in air is called the hang time.

For an athlete who moves 3m horizontally during a 1.25m high jump, the hang time will be the sum of the time taken by the athlete to reach the maximum height and the time taken for the athlete to reach the ground from maximum height.

Calculate the time taken t_1 by the athlete to reach the maximum height

t_1 = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

t_1 = \sqrt{\frac{2(1.25)}{9.8}}

t_1 = 0.5s

The athlete takes same time to reach the ground from the maximum height, so t_2 = 0.5s

Calculate the hang time will be

t =t_1+t_2

t = 0.5+0.5

t = 1s

Therefore the hang time of the athlete when he moves a horizontal distance of 3m is 1s.

Similarly, when the athlete runs 6m horizontally, then also there will not be a change in the hang time of the athlete as the hang time is independent of the horizontal distance covered.

Hlo <br><br> what is a force........??
Paha777 [63]

Explanation:

In physics, a force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity.

Formula

Newton's Second Law

F = m * a

F = force

m = mass of an object

a = acceleration

How to understand that an inductor behaves like short circuit and capacitor like an open circuit in steady state in a network?
garik1379 [7]
It depends on the steady-state frequency. At zero frequency an inductor behaves like an open circuit. As the frequency increases, the inductor acts more like an open circuit and a capacitator acts more like a short circuit

uphill at a rate of 2.5 mi/h from the base of a 6-mi trail. At the same time, Edwin walks downhill at a rate of 3.5 mi/h from th
uranmaximum [27]
<h2>After 1 hour they meet.</h2>

Explanation:

Distance between them = 6 miles

Speed of uphill person = 2.5 miles per hour

Speed of downhill person = 3.5 miles per hour

Relative velocity = 2.5 - ( -3.5 ) = 6 miles per hour

We know

         Displacement = Velocity x Time

         6 = 6 x Time taken

Time taken = 1 hour

After 1 hour they meet.
