Homework Statement
A 55.0 kg pole vaulter running at 9.0 m/s vaults over the bar. Assuming that the vaulter's horizontal component of velocity over the bar is 1.0 m/s and disregarding air resistance, how high was the jump?
Homework Equations
KE = 0.5*m(vavg)^2
The Attempt at a Solution
KE = 0.5*55(9?)^2
