Answer:
when the old wooden stiff poles were being used, none of the kinetic energy during the run-up was stored in the pole. With the new fiber glass flexible pole, some of that energy is stored in the flexing of the pole and then released as the pole straightens out at the top of its arc. Where 13 ft was considered an excellent competition vault with the stiff pole, the additional boost from the stored energy in the flex pole has made 17 ft vaults the winning heights.

The flexible fiberglass poles can bend more than wooden ones, before breaking. This meant that fiberglass poles are able to store more energy than wooden ones, and provide an additional increase in height to the vaulter, when the pole straightens out near the top of the vault.
Answer:
33 kg m/s
Explanation:
The momentum of an object is given by:
where
m is the mass of the object
v is the velocity of the object
In this problem, the total mass of the child and the wagon is m =22 kg, while the velocity is v = 1.5 m/s, therefore the momentum is
Compounds:
hydrogen
methane
hydrochloric acid
mixtures:
salt and water
oil and water
sugar and hot water
(stuff in day to day life basically)
Well, the length of every day is 24 hours all over the world.
You must be talking about the length of daylight.
On the equator, the longest daylight (sun up in the sky) is just about
12 hours, twice a year, around March 21 and September 21.
At the north and south poles, the sun is up in the sky for SIX MONTHS.
