Enter the mass of the person or object and the desired jump height into the calculator to determine the force required to achieve that jump.
Jumping Force Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the jumping force:
F = m * g * h
Variables:
- F is the force required to jump (Newtons)
- m is the mass of the person or object (kilograms)
- g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2)
- h is the jump height (meters)
To calculate the jumping force, multiply the mass of the person or object by the acceleration due to gravity and the desired jump height.
What is Jumping Force?
Jumping force is the amount of force that needs to be exerted against the ground to propel a person or object upwards to achieve a certain height. This force is directly related to the mass of the person or object and the height of the jump. Understanding the jumping force is important in sports science, physics, and engineering, especially when designing equipment or training programs for athletes.
How to Calculate Jumping Force?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Jumping Force.
- First, determine the mass (m) of the person or object in kilograms.
- Next, determine the desired jump height (h) in meters.
- Use the formula F = m * g * h, where g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2).
- Finally, calculate the Jumping Force (F) in Newtons.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem:
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
Mass (m) = 70 kg
Jump Height (h) = 0.5 m
