How do you do this question: A 60-kg pole vaulter running at 11 m/s vaults over the bar. Her speed when she is above the bar is 1.0 m/s. Neglect air resistance, as well as any energy absorbed by the pole, and determine her altitude as she crosses the bar.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

KEinitial + PEinitial = KEfinal + PEfinal since we are neglecting air resistance and other absorbed energies from the system.
