12. Sterling Archer has given up Lacrosse and taken up pole vaulting. At the end of his
approach run during a pole-vault, he has a horizontal velocity of 9 m/s and his center of
gravity is 1.5 m high. If Archer has a mass of 60 kg, estimate how high he should be able
to vault if his kinetic and potential energies are all converted to potential energy.
5.63 m
