Vertical jump height can be calculated using the principles of physics, specifically by measuring the time it takes for an object to travel from its peak height back to the ground. This is known as the flight time.
The formula to calculate vertical jump height (h) from flight time (t) is derived from the kinematic equation of motion: \[ h = \frac{1}{2} g t^2 \], where \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s² on Earth).
t = flight time in seconds
