work = f/d right? I don't have either of those to use
So I google it and might have found what I was looking for. I didn't see this anywhere in the textbook but would height = v squared / 2g? SO 12x12 / 2x9.8? My height is 7.35?
I guess not
I was looking for some direction or help I have these formulas to read in my book seeing them again isn't helping. I am confused on how to plug in this 12 m/s to get an answer?
I don't know to make sense out of any of that with just the runner can go 12 m/s? So I know their velocity what about the mass or height or anything else to help me solve it? Seems the question is missing something?
If potential energy is the same yes we have. I guess I just didn't get a good hold on it. I will take a look back at potential energy right now and try again.
When you say use m for mass and it will cancel out what does that mean? How can I solve the equation if I still have m as a variable?
Here is the question with two parts
The fastest that a human has run is about 12 m/s.
a) If a pole vaulter could run this fast and convert all of his or her kinetic energy into gravitational potential energy, how high would he or she go? 7pts
b) Using the 1990 pole vault world record of 20...
