well, im afraid of big jumps like that, so for me its like 1/2 a second to mid table. maybe a little  before mid

there are too many variables (velocity, angle of the lip, etc.)

ts not hard to calculate... y=y + vt -1/2gt^2, distance doesnt matter at all, its how high in the air u go that determines airtime...

so without considering air resistance/ rotational effects,

if the lip of the jump is 3 meters above your landing, and angled at 45 degrees, goin off the lip at 10 m/s, or aprroximately 23 mph

i calculated time in the air to be 1.8 seconds, and u travel horizontally 12.7 m, or about 40 feet
and on this same jump youd go 2.55 m, or about 8.5 feet above the lip of the jump

but this is all neglecting drag and rotational effects

and i was really bored, but yeah, about 2 seconds

not to be johnny raincloud over here...but what was your point of making this thread?

are you tryin to figure out how fast you need to rotate in the air or something or are you really just that bored?

I don't think there's beena recorded jump over 4 seconds of hangtime. At the Redbull Gap Session they basically had a perfect jump for biggest air with it being safe, and the highest airtime was 3.5 or something.

Well according to my calculations you are in the air for 3.6869584seconds if you hit the ramp at a velocity of 20-30 mph over a 40 foot gap.

the kinematic equation is actually y=y + vt +1/2gt^2 but u can say - 1/2gt^2 like u did cuz g is going to be -9.8 m/s^2. Thought id point that out so little kids arent mislead

do you really care??? i hate post police!  oink oink. i found it cool to dwell on the fact that those times when you go big and you feel like your in the air for ever is in reality only 2 seconds. it says a lot about a lot in my opinion, relativity and all that shit. and props to the kid who did the physics.

so wait, how much hang time would you get off a 60 ft table, it seems like mehybe 3 seconds i love that feeling when your just like soaring through the air for that long :) i think everyone should go bungee jumping too not to go off topic or anything

but 40 = around 2 secs.

if you could calculate that in your head everyone in the park would come to you and have u calculate their air time!

like i said, distance covered doesnt matter, how high u go is what determines airtime, but most likely, a 60 foot jump is gonna send u higher than a 40, so maybe a little more than 2 secs

It is necessary to consider air resistance. When you consider air resistance, distance most certainly does play a role.
