1. Hang Time

2. Definition- the amount of time a jumper is airborne (feet are off the ground) The hang time of the greatest jumpers is usually less than 1 second Hang time in basketball looks much longer than it actually is: even Michael Jordan’s best jump of 48 inches keeps him in the air for only 0.9 seconds

4. Hang Time Gravity acts on everyone. From the moment you leave the ground, you are being slowed down by gravity. While airborne, not even pumping your arms or legs will better your air time -

5. The formula d= ½ gt² ….but we want to solve for time Spud Webb’s record Height(distance)=1.25m g= 9.8 m/s²
