Perfect

And the outcome is a pointless nothing

jock? is this the 50s?

It'll take forever to make a 3 pointer though

But half-court dunks are basically travelling, lol

Shawn Ravenfire lol

Its called Space Jam

Exactly

3 words: Can't touch this

lakebytheroad cannot*

jack miller wow LMAO

Daedhart ( Me being stereotypical ) It's because he's black, black ppl are good at basketball...that's why he can made those legendary hang times.

Daedhart it's hammer time!!!!

mooxim It would be more expensive than all NASA projects cost right now.

Viktor6665 *videogame

mooxim hahaha, very funny ambiguity

mooxim Play NBA Street Volume 2 haha

hahha yeah

E Morales How about we start a petition to have a FRANCHISE on the moon? It can be named the Lunar (year that moon is colonised), like the Philly 76ers

we should start a government already

LIKE A SECOND FINALS EACH SEASON!!

time to start inventing the sports of the future. Worthy idea

A. Saleh 365

Superman does not obey the laws of gravity, therefore he is immune to hangtime

that's less than 3 seconds basic division

Ok that is funny 😂

Or Jupiter? Begin the poll...!

Aditya Khanna I know! on the moon of Jupiter - Europa!

Sam Leduc just don't try shooting or doing layups...

+Duckie bee *hits head* *goes back down* "Oh."

GRAVITY IS A THEROY NOT A FACT NOT SCIENCTIFFICLY SUPPORTED OR PROVEN

1. If you are orbiting, which is the only way you keep "flying" you ARE actually falling and missing the celestial body. 2. (we don't have the technology or we most probably will never have but) if you are going on an straight line, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE. So pack your jokes and go to sleep.

Well except for wilt chamberlain before you couldn't cross the line on the free throws Wilt was already dunking it from there

Jim Pollard 6ft 4 was dunking from foul line in practice before Wilt was in college.

@@brodyfunk2572 bill Russel, Peter Maverich they all had some impressive verticals.

@@brodyfunk2572 yeah but longer legs and a shorter vertical than mj. Not spectacular. People are exaggerating wilt for a long time now.

Wilt is 7’1 with a 7’8 wingspan with a 46 inch vertical and MJ is 6’6 with a 6’11 wingspan with a 48 inch vertical, it seems pretty amazing that Wilt got 46 inches considering his size

I do not think he could go into orbit around an asteroid by simply jumping: he would either not come back down, or would come back down. To orbit he would need some "sideways" velocity. to get into a low orbit, maybe he would be able to run faster and faster until he reached orbital velocity, then lift his feet.

You made the right comment that most people miss. Cool-sounding high school physics is all about an ideal ball, while MJ has legs and uses his abs to pull them up. Anyone who plays bball and has some hang time know that if you don’t use your abs, you don’t have much hang time to talk about.

I was searching for the music credits! (found none)

infamous means famous 😐

@@awaismalik3297 no it means not popular for good things but bad

@@awaismalik3297 most people don't know the difference.

Nikul Patel Lol nope. -0.5gt^2 would be used if they had implemented Jordan's final velocity. +0.5gt^2 is correctly used with his initial velocity.

Nikul Patel You are correct. A positive square would have an upwards parabola, while a negative square would have a downwards parabola. The negative one is the one we seek if we wish to return to Earth's surface. :)

Probably they took "g" to be negative

It's definitely not correct. Let's assume it is correct. That implies the height is strictly increasing. That is wrong. Hence, the initial assumption is wrong. Therefore it should be a -, which makes you wrong also. S=ut+0.5at^2. However, a=-g, since v, s and a are vector quantities and v and s are positive upwards and gravity acts downwards.

Aditya Khanna That could be the case if they didn't show positive g values. It's wrong either way.

Daniel Björkman g is negative only if you define upwards as positive, it really depends on your chosen coordinate system. I have shown the working outs in Nikul Patel's comment, and what the guy did in the video is correct, no need for re-check.

The hight axis is pointing upwards in the video man

Yes, you're right, but I'm saying it will depend on the chosen direction of positive. But anyways, I have shown the working outs that both cases work. Here is the working out from Nikul Patel's comment: If he defines upwards to be positive, then the value of g would be -9.8, the value of △H would be a positive number, and the value of initial y-velocity would be +4.51. Now from the equation, and the given initial y-velocity values, we would calculate the hang time by taking △H be 0, and work out the two t, then take the difference to get the hang time (just like he stated): 0 = 4.51t - 4.9t^2, rearranging gives: t(4.9t - 4.51) = 0, and so t = 0 and 0.92. Now we consider the other case (should be very obvious now that the other case will also work...): If he defined downwards to be positive, then the value of g would be +9.8, the value of △H would be a negative number, and the value of initial y-velocity would be -4.51. Again using the equation we have: 0 = -4.51t + 4.9t^2, rearranging gives: t(4.9t - 4.51) = 0, and so t = 0 and 0.92.

also the animation starting at 0:58 is a bit misleading since it says g=9.8 and shows planets coming towards earth, as if they would be accelerated with the same acceleration. (For others, the further you are the smaller the applied force, following equation G=¥×((m1×m2)÷r^2) where ¥ is the gravitational constant and r is the distance between two objects

+TickedOff Priest The calculations are correct. However in this circumstance we are just hypothetically assuming that you could actually walk on Jupiter.

InfinteGaming101 You know what they say about assuming.

TickedOff Priest No...?

"ass"uming

@@Twas-RightHere Actually he looks like he jumps like girl on earth.

whats wrong with it?

+Alecs - ''infamous'' is when you are known for something bad.

+Trezor99 Precisely. One bad mofo gave us that dunk.

+movement2contact thats what i was also wondering, theres nothing infamous about it.

+movement2contact I guess he's trying to say 'well known', or 'amazing'.

Jionunez7 Hold this L

Steph Curry is good at three's, tho. Take a look at it later...

The equation is wrong here. This is bc MJ isnt a ball. He is a human. By pulling his legs up he changes his center of gravity, thus changing hang time

:P

Sidharth Makhija Thank you for your input

+Sidharth Makhija there are plans to colonize the upper atmo of venus, gravity wouldd be similar.you could presurize the court.

you know what u have a bright future at ted

Sidharth Makhija How can he jump on jupiter? If I'm not wrong, Jupiter is all gas?

mik jagger i don’t think a couple of ounces would make a difference but you could have said with the designs of the new shoes like the foam and stuff do make you jump higher.

@@jaytona500 i agree with you. but i have a jordan 4, i don't know what version it was exactly, but it was heavier, the materials are hard and the weight of it wears you down when sprinting

Mik Jagger To a year old comment: Certain Jordan's are kinda heavy but they're well mad shoes, and certain ones ain't for hoopin, even if they might look like it. To your point about the shoes being lighter, I think similarly about Jordan's shoes when they first came out, compared to what most other players were wearing at the time, they had to be better than most basketball shoes you could buy at the time. I think there may have been a bit of truth in those Nike commercials poking fun about "it being the shoes" 😂

The actual differences between values of gravity due to ones changing radius is minute, and if you truly care so much about minute differences you would note the value is 9.81m/s^2

manny lemos sure, no doubt about that, But when they show whole planets as objects accelerated with 9.8 m/s^2 due to earth's gravitational force, it becomes a bit of a fallacy to say that everything is accelerated at this ratio

Thats because this video is wrong. Due to the simple fact that humans arent balls. By pulling your legs up you change your center of gravity, thus increasing hang time. There are a few more technics for that as well

XxmattitudexX They'd need the impulse the astronauts receive.

Michael Jordan was only 8% off the max human limit those guys were probably 50%

oh no look at his dp he didnt

Go away, this is a nerd channel, not a basketball vine moron channel. We don't want you here.

Could you share the function?

Its 7th grade maths...

Its not a significant change from the center of the earth

I think a gas planet would make him fall into its core

But if he trained in the moon, he would be really weak.
