A basketball player, standing near the basket to grab a rebound, jumps 66.9 cm vertically. How much time does the player spend in the top 14.2 cm of his jump?How much time does the player spend in the bottom 14.2 cm of the jump?
Part A) For the top 14.2 cm let us first calculate his velocity when he is (66.9 cm- 14.2 cm )
Now using first equation of motion
Part B) For the bottom 14.2 cm
His velocity after falling (66.9 -14.2 ) cm is given by
His velocity just before striking the ground
Now using first equation of motion
