Question:
A high jumper can run horizontally with a top speed of 10.0 m/s.
(a) If he can “convert” this velocity to the vertical direction when he leaves the ground, what is the theoretical limit on the height of his jump?
(b) How does your result to part (a) compare with the current high-jump record of approximately 2.5 m? Can you explain the difference?

Teaching was always an area where I can pursue my passion. I used to teach my friends and junior during my school and college life. After completing my professional qualification (chartered accountancy) and before joining my job, I also joined an organization for teaching and guidance to my juniors. I had also written some articles during my internship which later got published. apart from that, I have also given some presentations on certain amendments/complex issues in various forms.
