Question

The hang time of a basketball player who jumps a vertical distance of 2 feet (0.6 m) is about 2/3 second. What will be the hang time if the player reaches the same height while jumping 4 feet (1.2 m) horizontally?

Answer 1

The answer is the horizontal distance creates no change or difference in this problem because the "hang time" is always governed or rest on by merely on the vertical velocity. Therefore, the hang time will be the matching as before which is 2/3 second.
