Answer:
The moon keeps the same face pointing towards the Earth because its rate of spin is tidally locked so that it is synchronized with its rate of revolution (the time needed to complete one orbit). In other words, the moon rotates exactly once every time it circles the Earth.

Answer:
She can swing 1.0 m high.
Explanation:
Hi there!
The mechanical energy of Jane (ME) can be calculated by adding her gravitational potential (PE) plus her kinetic energy (KE).
The kinetic energy is calculated as follows:
KE = 1/2 · m · v²
And the potential energy:
PE = m · g · h
Where:
m = mass of Jane.
v = velocity.
g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²).
h = height.
Then:
ME = KE + PE
Initially, Jane is running on the surface on which we assume that the gravitational potential energy of Jane is zero (the height is zero). Then:
ME = KE + PE (PE = 0)
ME = KE
ME = 1/2 · m · (4.5 m/s)²
ME = m · 10.125 m²/s²
When Jane reaches the maximum height, its velocity is zero (all the kinetic energy was converted into potential energy). Then, the mechanical energy will be:
ME = KE + PE (KE = 0)
ME = PE
ME = m · 9.8 m/s² · h
Then, equallizing both expressions of ME and solving for h:
m · 10.125 m²/s² = m · 9.8 m/s² · h
10.125 m²/s² / 9.8 m/s² = h
h = 1.0 m
She can swing 1.0 m high (if we neglect dissipative forces such as air resistance).
