Assume that a vaulter is able to carry a vaulting pole while running as fast as Carl Lewis in his world record 100-m dash (aroun
d 12 m/s). Also assume that all of the vaulter’s kinetic energy is transformed into gravitational potential energy. What vaulting height could that person attain?
The results may differ due to resistive forces that may be affecting the system by decelerating it or any other external forces that might accelerate it a bit.Or the timing could be a little inaccurate.
