A high jumper is attempting to jump over a crossbar that is placed at a height of 2.0 m. The high jumper leaves the ground with an initial vertical velocity of 5.98 m/s. Calculate the peak height of the jump. Will the high jumper clear the crossbar?

a. Yes, they will clear the crossbar by 0.44 m

b. Yes, they will clear the crossbar by 0.26 m

c. No, they will miss the crossbar by 0.18 m

d. No, they will miss the crossbar by 0.44 m
