Is there a relationship between acceleration and jump height

[Tony H]

Homework Statement

Is there a relationship between head acceleration and jump height say for a 5 foot 2 inches boy weighing 120 lb?

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

I think there is a relationship between body acceleration into the floor before jumping, but wondering if there is one for head acceleration. Faster body acceleration getting off the floor into the jump means you will be in the air longer, I believe.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you

I don't follow the question. Can you explain a little more clearly. What is head acceleration? body acceleration? faster body acceleration?

Think of it this way: What are the forces affecting acceleration? And what are they liked to?

What conservation law can you connect with the height of the jump?
