Question

Why does an athlete run a long distance before taking a jump in long jump event?

Answer 1

it gives the athlete a great amount of momentum and as the velocity is large so he covers long distance

Answer 2

This is because in doing so, he acquires the energy of motion.

The velocity acquired by running is added to the velocity of the Athlete at the time of jump.

Hence, Athlete can jump over a longer distance due to the increased inertia of motion.
