Question

Well not really, but I'm trying to figure this out, except I'm notso certain about hang time. Correct me if I'm wrong, but hang timeseems to imply the time the object spends when it's at its highestand the velocity is 0 m/s. So I am shown three trajectories, allside by side, and I'm asked which one has the greatest hang time.One of the trajectories forms a much longer, higher path than theothers and also goes a greater distance. Can I assume that thegraph with the longer trajectory path would have a greater hangtime? How can I discern correctly the trajectory with the longesthang time? I'd appreciate the help, thanks!

Explanation / Answer

No. . Hang time is simply the time the object is in the air.Technically it's vertical velocity is only zero for an instant, soyou can't use that as the hang time. . The highest trajectory, regardless of horizontal distance, hasthe longest hang time.
