Question

A basketball player can jump to a height of 1.1 m off the ground, so he can easily dunk a basketball.For such a leap, what is his "hang time" - the time spent in the air after leaving the ground and before touching down again?

Answer 1

how long does it take to fall 1.1m?

Double that for the hang time, since he also has to rise that same distance.

Answer 2

It takes the same amount of time to fall as it does to rise. Example: if you toss a ball in the air and catch it at the same height 10s late, the speed of the max height would be 5s. It takes 10 m/s total, so going up would be 5s and coming down would be 5s. Hope that helps. I think the answer would be 2.2m

Answer 3

236

Answer 4

.95 s
