Sample question
During a long-jump take-off, an athlete leaves the board with a vertical velocity component of 4.9 m s⁻¹ and a horizontal velocity component of 8.0 m s⁻¹. Air resistance is negligible and g = 9.8 m s⁻². How long is the athlete in the air before landing back at take-off height?
- A. 0.50 s
- B. 1.0 s
- C. 1.5 s
- D. 2.0 s
Show the worked answer
Answer: B
Time to rise: t_up = v_y/g = 4.9/9.8 = 0.50 s. By symmetry total flight time = 2 × t_up = 2 × 0.50 = 1.0 s.
