PLEASE HELP A small dog is trained to jump straight up a distance of 1.2 m. How much kinetic energy does the 7.2-kg dog need to jump this high? (The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s2.)

OpenStudy (fwizbang):

Gravity is a conservative force. So the dog's KE just as he leaves the ground is equal to its PE at the highest point....

OpenStudy (i_kyky):

So formula KE=PE=mgh?

OpenStudy (fwizbang):

yep
