is there a limit to the amount of force a human can generate?
for example in superhero physics it is shown the original superman can leap 660 feet. The author has shown the amount of force required to accomplish this
f=ma, a=v/t, v^2=2gh
Velocity>v^2=2*32*660> 205/sec or 140miles per/hour
Acceleration>a=200f/sec/1/4sec > 800f/sec^2 or 250m/sec^2
F= 100kg*250m/sec^2> 25000 kgm/sec^2 or 5600 pounds
I know that a human couldn't possibly leap 660 feet so how do I debunk this? Is there a limit to the amount of force a human can generate? And would it be wise to compare this to high jump records?
