 In the graphs below, plot the horizontal and vertical displacement, velocity

In the graphs below, plot the horizontal and vertical displacement, velocity and acceleration of a person's center of mass during the flight phase of a standing long jump. (3 marks) Hints: (i) The left-most point on the horizontal axis (time) will be when the jumper leaves the ground. The right-most point on the horizontal axis will be when the jumper lands back onto the ground. (ii) It may be easier to first create a table of how the horizontal and vertical components (displacements, velocities and accelerations) change over time. Start with some arbitrary take-off values and figure out how these values change every second that the jumper is in the air. (ii) It may also be easier to figure out the horizontal components first - start with acceleration, then velocity, and finally displacement. Repeat for the vertical components. Displacement Displacement Horizontal Vertical Time Time Velocity Horizontal Vertical Velocity Time Time Vertical Acceleration Horizontal Acceleration Time Time
