Will smaller body jumbs higher?

[nhs325]

So, this theory of mine comes from Epic and The Internship. they both mention that if your body is smaller, you can jumb higher. this theory has been mention in The Internship, and it has been shown in Epic. So, will smaller body scale makes you jumb higher?

of course why would you ever doubt it ?

Is there any scientific evidences? I always doubt that they are not true.

 

[Kazeon]

between yes and no.. just compare horses and mice, horse can jump higher logic

Jumb? what is it?

Its jump. I think there are 2 kind of word but only one meaning. Jumb and jump are the same

Only muscle strength and weight matters. As bigger creatures and persons usually have more muscle strength to compensate for their increased weight, they usually jump as high as smaller ones (relatively spoken).

The bigger body, the better legs for jumping. The bigger body, the heavier it is. I would say a big body without arms and only one lung and one kidney would jump the highest.

Considering force production, jumping stance and mass are the same, I think smaller size wins.

I dare you to jump as high as a cat can relatively.

This. Forces are not linear (the acceleration part).


Of course, if we are talking about absolute values, then obviously something bigger can jump higher, unless it's a living form that wasn't meant to jump (elephants?).
