📖 Description:

Ever wondered how high jumpers clear bars higher than their own height? 🏅 This physics demonstration shows the secret behind the Fosbury Flop — using speed, take-off force, and body arching to keep the center of mass below the bar while the body flies above it. 🚀 Perfect blend of sports + science!

“High Jump Physics Demonstration”:

1. Run-Up Phase
• The athlete builds horizontal speed while approaching the bar.
• This speed is later converted into vertical lift through biomechanics (plant and take-off).

2. Take-Off Phase
• At the last stride, the jumper plants one foot strongly on the ground.
• Here, horizontal momentum gets redirected into upward momentum.
• Physics: the ground reaction force pushes upward and inward, allowing the jumper to rise.

3. Bar Clearance (Fosbury Flop Technique)
• The athlete arches the back in a “C” shape while going over the bar.
• Center of Mass Trick: Even though the body clears the bar, the center of mass can pass below the bar.
• Example: When arching, parts of the body (head, legs) are lower than the bar while only the back is above it.
• This is why athletes can jump higher than their measured vertical force capacity.

4. Landing Phase
• Athlete lands safely on the cushioned mat.
• Energy is absorbed by the mat to prevent injury.

Physics Demonstrated in the Video
1. Conversion of energy → Horizontal kinetic energy (run-up) → vertical potential energy (height).
2. Impulse & Force application → Short, powerful ground contact at take-off creates maximum lift.
3. Center of Mass below the bar → The Fosbury Flop allows athletes to “cheat physics” by lowering the center of mass trajectory relative to the bar.
4. Parabolic flight → Once in air, jumper follows projectile motion (gravity being the only force).

✅ In short: This video shows how jumpers use biomechanics + physics to jump higher than their actual vertical leap would normally allow.
