Answer:
Work done.
Explanation:
The skater who lifts has to overcome the partner's weight. When lifted up by 1 meter, her potential energy increases by (mass)x(gravitational acceleration)x(1meter), which is the amount of work done.
(This all assumes lifting vertically and no other forces being part of the picture)
Using the kinematic equation d = V_0 * t + 1/2 * a * t^2, where d is height you can rewrite this to be d = 1/2*g*t^2 or 4.9t^2
g = a because this is a free fall
d = 1/2 * 9.81m/s^2 * 2.5^2
d = 30.65625m
d = 30.7m
Because even though the object got crush and misshape it still has the same identity. the identity never change
