Problema Solution

Could you please help to solve this word problem. Thank you.

If a pro basketball player has a vertical leap of about 25 inches, what is his hang time? Use the hang-time function V = 48 T^2

Answer provided by our tutors

V = 48 T^2

T = sqrt(V/48)

V = 25

So

T = sqrt(V/48) = T = sqrt(25/48)= 0.72s

So his hang time is 0.72 s
