Answer:
The velocity with which the jumper strike the mat in the landing area is 6.26 m/s.
Explanation:
It is given that,
A high jumper jumps over a bar that is 2 m above the mat, h = 2 m
We need to find the velocity with which the jumper strike the mat in the landing area. It is a case of conservation of energy. let v is the velocity. it is given by :
[tex]v=\sqrt{2gh}[/tex]
g is acceleration due to gravity
[tex]v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\ m/s^2\times 2\ m}[/tex]
v = 6.26 m/s
So, the velocity with which the jumper strike the mat in the landing area is 6.26 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
