Why does an athlete take a longer jump if he comes running from a distance than when he jumps suddenly from the take-off line?
An athlete runs before jumping to achieve the momentum. In result, it will help the athlete to remain in motion due inertia of motion. And the athlete will have a longer and higher jump than that of a jump made up of standing in one spot.
This is why an athlete take a longer jump if he comes running from a distance than when he jumps suddenly from the take-off line.
