Hang-Time

Nina Harris and TJ Chandler

Washington Latin Public CHarter School
Introduction: 5200 2nd St NW, Washington, DC 20011
Equations and Domains
To calculate the hang time we used we did √2yo/g =
t Procedure and Set up:
Domains: We set up by getting all of our materials Data and Analysis:
have a clear presentation laid out. we did a lab to together and going outside of the classroom to ● Show the work to solve the
answer what our objective was, and we thought part of the wall that no one was using equations
carefully about what we did. We used the correct
1. Select where we want to jump
equation and recognized how we got that equation. ● Show how you solved for time
We created what we needed to create in order to 2. Have one person jump
3. Have another person jump ● Graph of time for both people
answer what our lab was asking.
We used appropriate physics equations and 4. Move because TJ needed more room to and world record
substituted variables in the right place. We critically, jump
analyzed and thought about what we did.
5. Have one person jump
6. Have another jump (and repeat without the
move part)

Objective: Calculate
hangtime (how long
you’re in the air for)

Materials: Conclusion:

- Tape (4 pieces) We got to a conclusion with our hang time. TJ jump

very high and Nina doesn’t which we could tell in our
- meter stick data, where it showed a big difference between Nina
and TJ’s hang time. We found the difference in height
- stool and regular Puting the tape on the
between the tape where we could reach up to you and
the tape where we could jump up to. We added up our
chair Jumping up to put another
wall three attempts so for Nina it’s 22 + 22 + 19 which
piece of tape on the wall equals 63. We divided by 3 because we did three
attempts. 63 divided by 3 is 21 so we put .21 into the
Measuring to
question to get √2(.21)/9.81 = 0.2. For TJ we did 58 +
get the hang 65 + 70 which equals 193. Then we did 193 divided by
Figure #3 time with a 3 to get 64, so we put .64 into the equation to get
√2(.64)/9.81 = .36
