i got windows media live player, it doesn't show any of the time values in tenths, how can i figure it out?

is this only applicable to svj?   could it be used for rvj?

in sports science they stated that mj's free throw line dunk in the dunk contest lasted .92 seconds

so i am just pondering here

i'll say you need an extra inch for every inch one is shorter than MJ to dunk from free throw

6'6 -mj 40inch vert for a free throw lane dunk
6'5 - 41 inch
6'4 -42inch
6'3-43inch
6'2-44inch
6'1-45inch
6'0-46inch


this is not adding in the account of speed or reach

but gonna need ~46inch vertical b4 i do a free throw lane dunk

is there a formula?? a trajectory formula ( have not taken physics yet haha) would be smart...but as i have not gotten that far in my education..idk 1

ok freethrow is 15ft right?
rim is 10ft up right?

reach is 94inches on me

so to dunk you need 10'5 i think and that's 125inches in the air right?

so my hand need to be 31inches in the air when i have traveled 15feet (obviously harder 2 do with a ball but let's make it simpler)

alright this is where i am stuck haha i did'nt take physics so i don't know how to do that yet

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100327132701AAa49tf -- bad sources have this problem giving had time

so i am guessing i'll use a 45degree angle in the jump right? cuz that'

anyway i am gonna hit my geometry book for a quick second as i just remeber arching circles..i think i can make it into an arch then maybe i'll find the answer 

The formula to calculate the initial velocity ( force ) for a free throw dunk is very easy , but it it is totally different than this hangtime calculator , which is valid only for vertical displacement.
Trying not to complicate things , when there is horizontal displacement too the same force applied to the ground gives different jump 'orbits' depending on the takeoff angle. It also depends on how much force you can create at that angle , its like vertical and broad jump together.
I can get some calculations and provide you with scientific valid numbers , but that would only say how much force you must apply to get there, probably useless , the horizontal jumping ability coefficient is missing.

What you can do is that :
Do your best jump from a distance you can get rim ( say the dot line , or the free throw line ). Look how many inches you are missing , those at AT LEAST how much you need to add to your vert.

Example :
You jumped from the dot line and you touched rim at 10'4''
To dunk you need 10'10'' ( forget that 10'5'' you said unless you can balm the ball like a tennisball ).
So you are missing AT LEAST 6'' to dunk from that far out.

Ill come back to this later with some calculations on that 'AT LEAST'.

Hope it helps...
