Does the weight of the shoe affect how far you jump?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

For the same leg strength / jumping technique, weight affects how far one can jump.

Acceleration = Force / Mass

With more mass, you cannot accelerate yourself as much when you jump with the same force. Imagine trying to jump with a small backpack full of sand strapped to your back. Your strength hasn't changed. That is, the amount of force you can deliver hasn't changed, but your mass has. You can't jump as high.

How high does the military airborne jump from?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Typically in the United States tandem skydiving is done from 10,000' up to 14,000, with a few DZs offering exit altitudes of up to 18,000. In order to go above 14,000' MSL legally, all crew and passengers are required to be on supplemental oxygen. So, exit altitude above 14,000 above sea level you'll have an oxygen mask in the airplane, if not you're in violation of the Federal Aviation Regulations. The United States Parachute Association (USPA) indicates a minimum tandem exit altitude of 7,000' above ground level.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Javelin is a metal tipped spear used in an athletic event known as javelin throw. Unlike other throwing events, in javelin throw the thrower has to cover a long run-up area before throwing. It provides him certain forward velocity so that the javelin could be thrown up to the maximum distance.

In javelin throws only those throws are legal in which the tip of javelin touches the ground first. As it is considered a dangerous event, the throwing areas are restricted. Usually each participant get three or sometimes six chances. After throwing, a javelin can attain the speed up to 113 km/h (70 mph).

Materials:

The main portion of a javelin is made of wooden shaft to which a sharp pointed metal tip is attached. The sharp tip helps the javelin to pierce the ground easily. Fiberglass and Carbon fiber is also used instead of wood. In the middle of javelin, a strip of threads or leather covers are winded to provide a solid grip.

Length of javelin * Men's javelin is 260cm (8.5 feet) in length. * Women's javelin is 220cm (7.25 feet) in length.
