What happens if you fall back onto your hands after landing in the sand pit during your jumping?
The jump is measured from the part of the body that touches the sand closest to the take off board, which in this case would be where the hands touched the sand.
If you could do a high jump at 2.5 meters about how many feet did you jump?
A little over eight feet.
Yes, obviously. Go to a track and field meet, a trampoline, a diving board, a gym, a moon bounce, or just everday life and you'll see someone jump.
PS. This is the most obvious question ever.

In the long jump, you take a single jump wiht will, hopefully, result very far.
If you jump off a plane just before it crashes will you jump up or down?
You would jump up, but then of course, gravity will take effect and you would, inevitably, come spiraling down to Earth. There also is the chance that, determined by the velocity of the falling plane, you would fly up even further because of the force of wind and G-force of the falling plane and air currents. In this event you would have even less of a chance of living, unless you had a parachute, then your chances would increase. Just out of curiosity, were you planning on jumping out of any crashing planes? Please, suicide is not the answer. Please contact your local suicide prevention hotline to talk to a person with a calm, persuading voice. You only have one chance. Don't waste it.

What is the physics behind the long jump?
The long jumper builds up kinetic energy with the run-up. This is chemical energy in the muscles being converted to kinetic energy, At the point of take off, he or she creates an impulse by kicking against the take-off board. The reaction to that impulse gives the jumper an upward velocity while inertia gives the jumper forward velocity.
Once launched, the jumper is affected by gravity and, to a much lesser extent, aerodynamic drag. These determine the distance jumped.
How does momentum affect Long Jump?
In long jump, momentum plays a crucial role in propelling the athlete forward and increasing the distance covered. The greater the speed and body mass of the athlete during takeoff, the more momentum they can generate for the jump. This momentum helps the athlete maintain their velocity in the air and cover a longer distance.
A camera and someone who has very good eyes with a white and red flag to signal a scrtch or a good jump.

What is the average jump in high jump for a four foot eleven girl?
I am 11 years old and jumped 1m and 15cm, and my friend jumped 1m and 25cm. But I am 6'3, and 4' is much shorter. Everyone is either good or not good at high jump. If this girl is good at high jump, an average height would most likely be 1m and 5-10cm. If this girl is not good at high jump, the average height would most likely be 95cm - 1m.
A compact jump is when you need to jump into deep water from a height. You put one arm across your chest, the other hand/ arm covers your mouth and nose. Legs are always straight.
