Answer:
The height jumped by the sprinter is 5.10 meters.
Explanation:
It is given that,
Speed of the sprinter, v = 10 m/s
We need to find the height jumped by the sprinter his or her kinetic energy gets converted into upward motion. It can be calculated using conservation of energy as :
[tex]mv^2=mgh[/tex]
[tex]h=\dfrac{v^2}{2g}[/tex]
g is the acceleration due to gravity
[tex]h=\dfrac{(10)^2}{2\times 9.8}[/tex]
h = 5.10 meters
So, the height jumped by the sprinter is 5.10 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
