Flight Time Jump Height
Infer ballistic jump height from flight time and supplied gravitational acceleration.
Description
Ballistic jump-height inference uses total airborne duration.
Ballistic jump-height inference uses total airborne duration. The one-eighth factor assumes equal takeoff and landing height.1
Infer ballistic jump height from flight time and supplied gravitational acceleration.
When to use Flight Time Jump Height
Use this tool to infer ballistic jump height from flight time and supplied gravitational acceleration.
Prepare the measured movement, timing, load or preassigned score requested. Keep protocols, units, paired measurements and caller-selected thresholds consistent.
How to use Flight Time Jump Height and understand its results
- Prepare the measured movement, timing, load or preassigned score requested. Keep protocols, units, paired measurements and caller-selected thresholds consistent.
- Enter flightSeconds, gravityMps2 using the field table and calculation rules, then run the tool.
- Read heightM, heightCm. The explanation below defines the units, signs, ordering and any flags or placeholder values.
- If the tool reports an input issue, correct the values and run it again. Apply the stated assumptions when interpreting a successfully returned result.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type; see rules below | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| flightSeconds | Flight seconds | number | Required |
| gravityMps2 | Gravity mps 2 | number | Required |
Enter nonnegative flight seconds and positive gravity. Return meters and centimeters; zero flight gives zero height.
heightM=g flightSeconds²/8 Units, indexing, boundary conditions and exceptional cases are defined in the calculation rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| heightM | Height m | number |
| heightCm | Height cm | number |

}Limitations and assumptions
No landing-position correction, air resistance or flight-event detection is supplied.
Numeric inputs must be finite. Follow the calculation-specific rules for overflow, underflow and exceptional cases. Missing required fields, extra fields, wrong value types and violations of the calculation rules are input errors.
