The time a basketball player spends in the air when shooting a basket is called the "hang time." the vertical leap l measured in feet is related to the hang time t measured in seconds by the equation L=4t2. suppose that a basketball player has a vertical leap of 2 feet 2 inches. find the hang time for this leap

Solution:

The vertical leap l measured in feet is related to the hang time t measured in seconds by the equation:

Where,

L is the vertical leap in feet

t is the hang time in seconds

From given,

L = 2 feet 2 inches

Therefore,

L = 2 feet + 0.1667 feet = 2.1667 feet

Substituting in equation,

Thus the hang time for this leap is 0.736 seconds

hope this .
