In the high jump, the kinetic energy of an athlete is transformed into gravitational potential energy without the aid of a pole. With what minimum speed must the athlete leave the ground in order to lift his center of mass 2.25 m and cross the bar with a speed of 0.71 m/s?|||conservation of energy:
energy at position 2 = energy at position 1
position 2 = 2.25 m above position 1
1/2mgh + 1/2 mv2^2 = 1/2mv1^2
gh + v2^2 = v1^2
v2 = 0.71 m/s
h = 2.25 m
g = 9.8m/s^2
solve for v1
