Abstract

Problem Title: Comparison of methods for calculating vertical jump height in sport

Course Level: Second-year undergraduate.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Describe the principles behind calculating jump height from impulse and from flight time
2. Apply the impulse-momentum relationship and relevant equation of motion separately to calculate jump height from net impulse and from flight time
3. Explain the potential limitations of each approach and their implications for the accuracy of the calculation.
