AI Thread Summary
To measure a person's jump time and height, one can use the formula derived from Newton's second law, f=ma, which relates force, mass, and acceleration. For accurate calculations, it's essential to know the person's weight and the force exerted during the jump. A stopwatch can be used for direct measurement, but calculations will provide a theoretical understanding of jump dynamics. Further discussion on the formula can help clarify its application in determining jump height and duration. Understanding these principles is crucial for accurate assessments of jump performance.

hello people can anyone help me...?
here is my objective...

To measure how long a person stays on the air, when it jumps, until it reaches the ground at the same position.

Given:
Weight of the person
Force exerted

Find:
Time
Height of the jump


...plsss

Welcome to PF.

You said "measure", but then you listed some data as if you really want to calculate. If you want to measure, use a stopwatch. If you want to calculate, use f=ma and its derivatives.
 
sorry my fault...

it's calculate uuhm... please i want to now more about that formula... can you please discuss to me, further, about that formula...

please... please...:smile:
 

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
