What is high jump scoring?
High jump scoring is based on the athlete's ability to clear successive heights, with each competitor given three attempts at each height. If an athlete successfully clears a height, they move on to the next, while failures at three consecutive attempts at a height result in elimination. The athlete's final score is determined by the highest height they successfully cleared. In the event of a tie, the athlete with fewer total attempts at all heights cleared is ranked higher.
Where does the friction occur in long jump?
Friction occurs between the athlete's feet and the takeoff board during the long jump. This friction allows the athlete to push off with force to propel themselves forward into the jump. Additionally, there is also friction between the athlete's body and the air as they move through the jump.
