mgh

So using the old equation: mgh = ½mv2 makes my takeoff velocity around 4.5 metres per second, before gravity inevitably drags me down.

The potential energy of gravity U can be estimated as mgh/2.

The exact relation would be expressed as mgh = S v2, with g represent -

Out Of My Later Years Einstein, Albert, 1879-1955 1950

The energy needed to get that high neglecting the pre-run part would just be mgh or about 1164 Joules.

For the jumper, I assumed a gravitational potential energy of the form mgh.

While homework problems do annoy us, they are much less offensive than finding out that somebody has about 19,600 Joules of stored mechanical energy (U = mgh, do you remember that one) and doesn't know how to control this.

Then yi = h and yf = 0 and 0 + mgh = ½ mvf2 and v f 2 gh This speed is the same as would be obtained if the mass were dropped straight down from a height h.

If an object falls a distance h, then the work done by gravity is Wg = Fh = mgh This work done by gravity on a falling object is the amount by which the gravitational potential energy is reduced.
