Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
V equals the vertical leap.
T equals the hang time.

The formula is V = 48T^2

V = 30 inches.

Formula becomes:

30 = 48T^2

divide both sides of this equation by 48 to get:

30/48 = T^2

take the square root of both sides of this equation to get:

T = sqrt(30/48)

Use your calculator to solve to get:

T = .790569415 seconds.
