=**Homepage:**= Welcome to Ian, Ashley, and Allura's webvideo project for Honors Physics, 2008-2009.

 Our project is an analysis of Long Jump, a track and field event where an athlete tries to jump as far as possible from the foul line into the sand. In order to do this the jumper must take off as close to the foul line as possible and push off of the ground with as much force as possible for them to be propelled through the air. For more general information about long jump visit []

Long jump can be analyzed through physics fairly easily due to the motion of the jump being parabolic. The motion being parabolic means that the x component of velocity is constant. Because logger pro allows us to find position and velocity by just analyzing graphs we can then describe the motion using conservation of energy, and using projectile equations.
