The formula to calculate the Hangtime (HT) is:
\[ \text{HT} = \sqrt{\frac{2 \cdot h}{g}} \]
Where:
Hangtime refers to the duration of time that an object, typically in sports like basketball or football, remains in the air without touching any surface. It is often used to measure the time a player stays in the air during a jump or the time a ball stays in the air after being kicked or thrown.
Let's consider an example:
Using the formula to calculate the Hangtime:
\[ \text{HT} = \sqrt{\frac{2 \cdot 1.5}{9.8}} \approx 0.55 \, \text{seconds} \]
This demonstrates that with a jump height of 1.5 meters, the hangtime would be approximately 0.55 seconds.
