I think I figured it out. In order to get the hang time, I need to multiply my answer, 0.501 by 2. I was only calculating the hang time for the jump up, and not for the entire trip.

My physics book, "Conceptual Physics: tenth edition" says the formula for hang time is... t = the square root of 2d/g The only problem is which d to use. I have two d's in both cases. However I am fairly sure I am supposed to use 1.23m as the d since the horizontal distance shouldn't matter.

Hang Time Trouble. PLEASE READ Homework Statement Calculate a person's hang time if he moves horizontally 4 m during a 1.23 m high-jump. What is his hang time if he moves 8 m horizontally during this jump? Homework Equations I need to know the correct formula for hang time...

Oops...sorry I did not know there was a homework help forum. I attained the formula from my physics book Conceptual Physics: tenth edition It is one of Paul G. Hewitt's books. Are you going to help me on this problem or should I go to the H/W forums?
