B. velocity at position x, velocity at position x=0, position x, and the original position
In the equation
=
+2 a x (x - x₀)
= velocity at position "x"
= velocity at position "x = 0 "
x = final position
= initial position of the object at the start of the motion
Answer:
2856.96 J
0
0
6.78822 m/s
Explanation:
= Initial velocity = 9.6 m/s
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
h = Height
The athlete only interacts with the gravitational potential energy. Air resistance is neglected.
At height y = 0
Kinetic energy
At height y = 0 the potential energy is 0 as
At maximum height her velocity becomes 0 so the kinetic energy becomes zero.
As the the potential and kinetic energy are conserved
The general equation
Half of maximum height
The velocity of the athlete at half the maximum height is 6.78822 m/s
