1. My professor explained this concept before, but I didn't quite understand. I need help with understanding how if two players jump for the ball with the exact same mass and body segment dimensions, taking off with the same vertical and horizontal velocity of the CoG, one can have an advantage over the other by reaching with one arm up (and the other arm by her side) while the other one reaches with both arms. I don't even understand the concept, or even know where to start. :( We have to write 2 paragraphs on it using "knowledge of projectile motion and the factors that affect the location of the CoG to explain why the player that has one up arm up has an advantage. Please help me?
2. I don't know any relevant equations
3. All I remember him saying is that CoG goes up when arms are raised. Also, there is more force being used because there is less mass? I don't even know. Honestly, that is where I am starting. :(
