Question

A high jumper reaches a height of 2.45 m. If they generated an estimated 1030 J to reach that height in 0.71 s, how much power did his legs generate in that jump

Answer 1

Power = 1471.4W or 1.47kW

Step-by-step explanation:

Height = 2.45m

Energy = 1030J

Time = 0.70s

Power = energy dissipated / time taken

Power = 1030 / 0.70

Power = 1471.42 watt

Power = 1.47kW

His legs generated a power of 1.47kW in that jump
