Answer:
The sprinter need to climb 6.17 m
Explanation:
From the question,
Ep = Ek...................... Equation 1
Where Ep = potential energy, Ek = kinetic energy.
therefore,
mgh = 1/2mv².................... Equation 2
Where m = mass of the human, v = speed, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity.
making h the subject of formula in equation 2
h = 1/2v²/g...................... Equation 3
Given: v = 11 m/s
Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²
Substituting these values into equation 3,
h = 1/2(11²)/9.8
h = 6.17 m.
Therefore the sprinter need to climb 6.17 m
