The horizontal velocity of the person can be expressed as:
The horizontal velocity of the person can be expressed as:
The person reaches the maximum height from the surface of the Earth. The time taken () by the person can be calculated with the help of the first equation of motion. This can be expressed as:
Here, acceleration (a) is equal to the acceleration due to gravity (g) in the downward direction, which is equal to . At the maximum height, the person’s velocity can be considered as zero.
This can be further solved as:
Substitute the value 0 for v in the above equation.
The total time (t) taken by the man in the air is twice the time calculated above. This can be given as:
