Height

Height is the measurement of vertical distance. For a human, it is the measurement from the top of the head to the feet. Ask questions here about how tall things are.

What is the average height the football reaches on a punt?

The question you are asking is too vague to be anwsered.

"

I will say that 6'2" is the preferred height among teams around the league

Times have changed as the 60's had only allowed giants on the gridiron to present an idea of toughness, while the height averages have decreased among reason years due to the will of shorter players to prove they are just as good, if not better, then the giants on the field.

Here is a researched estimation of all positions on the field

Quarterbacks

Preferred Height: 6'2"-6'5"

-Quarterbacks need to be tall to be able to see downfield. Great Quarterbacks like Drew Brees, and Steve McNair were not criticized for their great play, but their lack of ability to see downfield openings due to height.

Halfbacks

Preferred Height: 5'10"-5'11"

-Most Halfbacks Nowadays are around the area of 5'9", and this may be due to the grating of legplates because of excess running. However, big backs like Brandon Jacobs prove statements like this false. No matter how much one person can prove a stereotype wrong, smaller backs are still the majority in the league.

Fullbacks

Preferred Height: 5'11"-6'1"

-Fullbacks are usually former Linebackers or Offensive Lineman with "Fullback Play", therefore most Fullbacks are much taller then the preferred height.

Wide Receivers

Preferred Height: 6'0"-6'2"

-Most Coaches in the NFL are looking for a fast downfield threat with sure hands and a build that is tall enough to catch jump balls (EX: Randy Moss and Plaxico Burress)

but because of "Leg-Plate Theory" a tall, fast, and sure handed wide receiver is hard to come by.

Tight Ends

Preferred Height:6'3"-6'5"

-Tights Ends, like Fullbacks, are usually former Offensive Lineman who possess better speeds and catching ability so the height range for Tight Ends is usually higher then the preferred Height.

Offensive Tackles

Preferred Height: 6'5"-6'10"

-Not much of a Conversation here, Tall Tackles are highly valued so that their big sizes can sustain the pocket, contain Defensive Ends, and protect the Quarterback's blind side. (They still need skill mind you).

Offensive Guards

Preferred Height: 6'3"-6'6"

-Guards also need to have size because Interior Lineman are usually the strongest of the Defensive Core.

Offensive Centers

Preferred Height: 6'1"-6'4"

-In olden days, a Center was a Lineman who needed to have the ability to snap the ball. That's it. The expectations for height were carried. However, since that time, interior defensive lineman have become more valued so Tall Centers have also become somewhat of a demand.

Defensive

Defensive Ends

Preferred Height: 6'2"-6'6"

-Defensive Ends were usually the biggest and fastest Lineman on the team. Now (proven by Elvis Dumervil and Dwight Freeney) they are only needed to be fast to be dominant and outrun Tackles to the Quarterback, making the need for skilled Tackles even more valuable.

Defensive Tackles

Preferred Height: 6'3"-6'6"

Interior Lineman have increased in size over the years to collapse the pocket right in the face of Quarterback and possibly predict snap counts to rush the Quarterback.

Outside Linebackers

Preferred Height: 6'2"-6'4"

-No Comment (ability over size)

Inside Linebackers

Preferred Height: 6'3"-6'5"

-More Helpful on Goaline Situations more then anything, the size of an Inside Linebacker to stop the Goaline Dive is very crucial. With Inside Linebackers being worked into Zone Schemes nowadays, the ability to jump high and intercept in zone is also very helpful.

Strong Safeties

Preferred Height: 6'0"-6'2"

-Strong Safeties are usually more Linebacker then Defensive Back, so Size and Strength matter.

Free Safeties

Preferred Height: 5'11"-6'2"

-A Free Safety is basically a Cornerback who covers whatever is open. Ability is valued over height.

Cornerbacks

Preferred Height: 5'11"-6'1"

-Cornerbacks are usually extremely fast. The ability of makeup speed, breakaway speed, and acceleration are crucial in a shutdown Corner's abilities. Cornerbacks are usually shorter (again, the leg-plate theory), and short Cornerbacks are usually put in uncompromised situations with taller Wide Receivers, however some Cornerbacks have dominated under this situation (DeAngelo Hall V. Chad Johnson). In short ability over size, but a Taller Cornerback with shutdown capabilities will always be of more value. (Antonio Cromartie).

Special Teams

Punters

No preferred Height

Kickers

No preferred Height

Long Snappers

Preferred Height: 5'10"-6'7"

-Height is not an issue, but being too short can cause a collapse in the blocking during punts/field goals.

What is the maximum height a sphere shot from cannon can reach?

That depends on basically three things: the angle at which the cannon is fired, the velocity of the projectile, and the acceleration of gravity. The maximum range of the cannon is achieved with a firing angle of 45 degrees to the horizontal. But the maximum height is achieved when the firing angle is 90 degrees to the horizontal, that is, when the cannon is pointing straight up into the air. (Which can be very dangerous to the artillery personnel firing the guns!) So, if we assume that the cannon is on Earth, not some other planet, and fired straight up into the air, can we determine how high the cannonball will go? Yes, if we know the velocity of the cannonball as it leaves the end of the cannon's tube. Once the cannonball leaves the end of the tube, it begins to slow down because of the acceleration of gravity. We can use the energy equations to calculate the maximum height of the cannonball. We know that kinetic energy is defined by the equation Ek = mv2/2. We also know that potential energy (due to altitude) is defined by the equation Ep = mgh. Equating the two, we get mv2/2 = mgh. Rearranging the terms to solve for h, we get: h = v2/2g. (Note that g = 9.8 m/s2 = 32.2 ft/s2.) So, let's say the cannon has a muzzle velocity of 1000 meters per second. The cannonball, therefore, has an initial velocity of 1000 m/s before it starts to slow down. Plugging 1000 into the equation above and solving for h, we calculate the theoretical maximum height as 51,020 meters. In practice, however, the cannonball will not achieve anywhere near that height because of air resistance, which has a tremendous effect at such high speeds.

What is Leo howard's height in 2011?

I'm guessing 5'2" because that's what it says on the Kickin' It page under Jack (Leo's character). But it claims also that Jason Earls is taller and he's not so...

^^ that is rubbish 1. because teens tend to grow everyday 2. because it says that Rudy is taller but actually thats not true if you look at the difference in some of the scenes and 3. it says the character Eddie is taller than 'Jack' which is also not true..... :P

I guess he is 5'3"-4" at least
