Of course with a human jump, I can look at the total time off the ground ... we just have to make the graph. Here is that graph. Oh, since these are Jedi the upward acceleration and the downward ...
and acceleration = velocity change ÷ time. To find the distance travelled, look at the area under the graph. In the first 10 seconds this is the area of the triangle, ½ × 10 s × 40 m/s = 200 m.
