First, I am not a physicist. Secondly, you are pulling me very gently in a physics discussion, and you have succeeded in doing that. You must be a great teacher. . Physics is too complicated for me but you make it so interesting that I can not jump even a single letter. And I really enjoy it.
Prof, I want to ask. My body weight is 78 Kg, when I jump from point A to point B with one step jump. Then I have been at point Z with energy 1/10 jump from point A to B. My question is ... how is this possible and can happen ....?
Actually, your writings have sparked many of my classic questions, and this is one of them. Sorry if my question makes you confused, maybe the order of the sentence is not quite right or something.
If you were my teacher 25 years ago, maybe today we are like in my question above.
Sorry, this is too long. thanks a lot Prof. hopefully you are always healthy to write articles like this. Yours sincerely. @ Jenara.
Thanks a lot for your very nice message!
Then you belong to the people I really want to see commenting. My posts are really targeting non physicists :D
I am not too sure to follow, but this is a classical mechanics problem. You motion will be dictated by the ensemble of forces acting on your body (gravity, friction of air, etc.). The rest is to solve the equation and you will get your trajectory.
And don't be afraid of long comments: I write long posts :D
