In the vertical jump, an athlete starts from crouch and jumps upward to reach as high as possible. Even the best athletes spend
little more than 1.00s in the air (thier "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. You may ignore air resistance.

The resistance of the piece of wire is
where
is the resistivity of the copper
is the length of the piece of wire
is the cross sectional area of the wire
By substituting these values, we find the value of R:
Then, by using Ohm's law, we find the potential difference between the two points of the wire:
