My idiot friends are in a heated debate. If a average 200lb man sprinted 14mph and jumped off a platform 8 feet off the ground, would he be able to land 14 feet away from the platform? My friend tested his long jump on flat ground and he measured at 9 feet. So he thinks if he jumped off of a 8 foot high plat form that he would be 9 feet out before he started to drop below the level of the platform. So he thinks between his momentum going forward and the 8 foot drop, that it would make up for the 5 feet? Opinions please!!! Thanks.
