When ski jumpers are in the air. how high off the ground are they?

They have just shown a graphic that answers this question on British Eurosport. At the end of the inrun, the competitors are 64.6m off the ground, therefore it suggests that at their highest point during flight, they are about 75m above the ground.

Up or away from the center of gravity.

The height for a basketball ring from the ground is 10ft for age 12 and upwards and 8.5ft for under 12’s ....

The higher the colder

If you mean by 'above' you measure along the ramp, then the vertical drop is 40sin(30) which is 20 meters.\n\nSo, you just need to figure out how fast an object will be traveling after falling 20 meters (I am leaving off friction here).

I am a collegiate high jumper!  I am white.\n\nA white guy won the last olympics in high jump!\n\nI have a 39.5" inch vertical, done the way they do it in the nfl combine, my uncle held the White Sox vertical record (after Jordan played for the Birmingham Barrons - Jordan's was 38.5 or39) my uncle had a 42 inch vert.  \n\nAlso, everyone stating that all of these people have 40+ inch verticles please check your numbers.  Only a  slight few of the nfl players have a 40+ inch verical (taken the correct way) and I think other than mens volleyball no mainstream sport has a high percentage of people over 40 inch verticals.\n\nIn college a main majority of all-american high jumpers are white.  Last year there were 6 out of the 9 all americans were white.  The truth is - blacks don't necesarilly jump higher or farther than whites but it is true that blacks are statistically faster than whites so that coupled with more control at takeoff in a sport like basketball or football would incinuate that more blacks jump higher than whites.  \n\nIt really is not a race thing, you know it is more of a genetic thing.  Therefore, blacks or African Americans are genetically predisposed to being more athletically gifted, though.  However, I will go out on a limb and say that the highest concentration a person will find of high verticals is in Men's volleyball and most of those guys are white.  I have heard that to get on the men's U.S. national team a person must have at least a 48" vert.  Now, I know my vert is high at 39.5"  but there is no physicall way I can add 9.5 inches to my vert and that is just being realistic so also don't by into these jumpsoles and stuff, just do powercleans or powersquats - preferably powercleans help more.\n\nSo to get a legit 4-6 inches on your vertical work on power cleans and plyometrics for a few YEARS!  Otherwise I hope genetically you were born with good jumping ability.  I dunked in the 8th grade and my brother (is a sophmore in high school) can do some rediculous dunks - a windmill and a 360. But, I can do a 360 windmill and he is almost 6'6" and I am 6'4" - that was just the training part that helped me. But really, it  has 90% to do with genetics.

My average vertical leap was about 1 meter 20 bevor I started smoking. Your question is maybe not precise. Men or Women? What age? Sportsmen or averege people? Innuit or somalian people? ....

I've done over a 100 freefalls, sounds like anxiety to me...  Generally, skydivers jump from around 13 thousand feet.  At 13 thousand the air is much thinner, but there is plenty to breath especially for a short period of time encountered during a jump...

Start with your height in centimeters, which is 163 cm.\nThe skis should be at least 20 cm longer than your height, and then you should make them still longer as your skiing skill increases and you want to tackle harder trails.\n\nSo 185 is about right to start, or go to 195 if you are intermediate.
