Asked by Helena
In 1993, Cuban athlete Javier Sotomayor set the world record for the high jump. the gravitational potential energy associated with Sotomayor's jump was 1970 J. Sotomayor's mass was 82.0 kg. How high did Sotomayor Jump?

Gravitational energy (in joules)
= mgh
where
m=mass (k)
g=acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)
h=height (m)
Solve for h.
= mgh
where
m=mass (k)
g=acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)
h=height (m)
Solve for h.

We use the formula
PE = mgh
where
PE = potential energy (J)
m = mass (kg)
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^2
h = height (m)
Substituting,
1970 = 82(9.8)(h)
h = 2.45 m
