Based on the assumption that the air resistance is negligible, it is suggested that the overall motion characteristic of a long jumper may be analyzed by assuming that the center of gravity of the athlete undergoes a projectile motion. Consider an athlete who jumps a horizontal distance of 9 m after reaching a maximum height of 1.5 m. What was the takeoff speed v. of the athlete? Discuss how the athlete can improve his/her performance.
