An athlete can take longer jump if he comes running from a distance behind as compared to that when he jumps suddenly without running explain?

When an athlete runs before jumping, they build up momentum which allows for more force to be exerted during takeoff, resulting in a longer jump. This momentum comes from the athlete's speed and the push-off from the ground during the run-up, contributing to a greater distance covered during the jump compared to a stationary jump where there is less kinetic energy to propel them forward.

How does momentum affect Long Jump?

In long jump, momentum plays a crucial role in propelling the athlete forward and increasing the distance covered. The greater the speed and body mass of the athlete during takeoff, the more momentum they can generate for the jump. This momentum helps the athlete maintain their velocity in the air and cover a longer distance.

How does momentum effect jumping distance?

Momentum affect jumping a great deal, that is why a standing long jump is significantly less that one taken at close to maximum speed. Usually the faster an athlete the longer he or she will jump, but jumping also depend not only on speed but also on how the athlete converts that speed in the last couple of strides. A jumper can negate their running speed by slowing down at the board, lengthening the strides at the board or by dropping the hips too low.
