A62.0-kg athlete leaps straight up into the air from a trampoline with an initial speed of 9.6 m/s. the goal of this problem is to find the maximum height she attains and her speed at half maximum height. (a) what are the interacting objects and how do they interact? (b) select the height at which the athlete's speed is 9.6 m/s as y = 0. what is her kinetic energy at this point? (c) what is her kinetic energy at maximum height? 0 correct: your answer is correct. j what is the gravitational potential energy associated with the athlete? (d) write a general equation for energy conservation in this case and solve for the maximum height. e) write the general equation for energy conservation and solve for the velocity at half the maximum height.

6.78822 m/s

Explanation:

= Initial velocity = 9.6 m/s

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = Height

The athlete only interacts with the gravitational potential energy. Air resistance is neglected.

At height y = 0

Kinetic energy

At height y = 0 the potential energy is 0 as

At maximum height her velocity becomes 0 so the kinetic energy becomes zero.

As the the potential and kinetic energy are conserved

The general equation

Half of maximum height

The velocity of the athlete at half the maximum height is 6.78822 m/s

answer:   you might love summer weather, but you don’t want it to feel like the sun is inside your car. but a hot car that just won’t seem to cool down might be a bigger of a problem than you think. your car relies on being at the right temperature.
