A 47-kg pole vaulter running at 11 m/s vaults over the bar. Her speed when she is above the bar is 1.1 m/s. Neglect air resistance, as well as any energy absorbed by the pole, and determine her altitude as she crosses the bar.

Answer:

6.1 m

Explanation:

Energy is conserved. The pole vaulter's initial kinetic energy is converted to her final kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy.

KE₀ = KE + PE

½ mv₀² = ½ mv² + mgh

½ v₀² = ½ v² + gh

h = ½ (v₀² − v²) / g

h = ½ [(11 m/s)² − (1.1 m/s)²] / (9.8 m/s²)

h = 6.1 m
