If there are any good sites that explain the technque of good starts, both off the block and backstroke, i would be very happy if you could tell me. I am doing a "How to" paper and presention for my english class and i need pictures and more Frequentaly asked questions. I would be greatful if you could help me!!
It's 45 degrees if you are long jumping in a vacuum (which make it tough to breathe :D ). And the assumption is that velocity is independent from angle of attack, which as you point out, is not true for the long jump. (But it is probably true for a standing jump. :confused: )
That would be an interesting puzzle to solve. Any data to show the loss of velocity versus jumping angle? It should be possible to figure out the ideal angle. Also, with the elevation of the blocks, the problem is not the same as a take-off and landing at the same height.
