Question

When you jump from a certain height, you usually flex your knees.
Explain why a person flexes one’s knees while jumping from a height.

Answer 1

This is not a math question, there is probably a better study group for it.

Answer 2

flex when you land?? or set off??

Answer 3

every physicist is a mathetician, so i asked here

Answer 4

"while jumping from a height"

Answer 5

ok set off

Answer 6

yea

Answer 7

Every physicist is a mathematician??! No. No no no. That is so wrong as to be insulting.

Answer 8

my own phycist teacher said that, but NOT every mathmatecian is a phyicist, now thats an insult to physicist

Answer 9

Your physics teacher probably doesn't even know what mathematics is. Very few mathematicians are physicists, and even fewer physicists are mathematicians.

Answer 10

lol... i maybe wrong, but every physicist has to know math!

Answer 11

physics is the application of math

Answer 12

ANY ANSWER TO MY QUESTION?

Answer 13

Physics is the application of results that mathematicians have found by doing mathematics. It's not the application of mathematics, just the application of results.

Answer 14

Bending your knees help absorb some of the initial impact of the jump.

Answer 15

Hi immeen04 :)

How are you?

Answer 16

BTW : As an electronics engineer. I agree with you in the above discussion.

Answer : It is due to impulse-momentum theorem.

Answer 17

I just mostly agree with immeen04.

Answer 18

thankyou! wouldu be able o help mewith most of my physics questions??

Answer 19

In the future, don't post questions like this in the Mathematics group. This question should be posted in the Physics group. However, if not enough people are looking at your question, you can post a link in the chatroom asking help.
