A 60 kg pole-vaulter runs with an average velocity of 8 m/s down the track. If all of the vaulter’s kinetic energy is converted into potential gravitational energy, how high will her center of mass be elevated above her initial height?
On another jump, the same vaulter reaches a height of 4 meters. If this height is completely due to the potential strain energy that is stored in the pole, not the kinetic energy related to her running, how much mechanical energy was stored in the pole?

QUESTION 1
In pole vaulting, a jumper achieves great height by converting
their kinetic energy of running in to gravitational potential
energy. The pole plays an intermediary role in this process.
Suppose that a jumper runs at a speed of 9.1 m s-1, use a simple
model to estimate how far the jumper's centre of mass will rise.
(For reference only, a new world record was set in early 2014 of
6.16 m.)
