When the pole vaulter just passes over the bar, he/she is almost stationary, and certainly at the maximum height reached above the ground, so apart from a very small amount of kinetic energy as a result of passing over the bar, all the energy put into the vault is bound up in gravitational potential energy. During the approach, the jumper runs up so has acquired kinetic energy. Then during the vault he/she exerts force on the pole to gain height, and to convert the horizontal kinetic energy into a vertical direction. This force comes from the chemistry of the muscles of the body.
So the overall conversion is from kinetic energy plus muscular chemical energy into gravitational potential energy, which is then converted back to kinetic energy on the descent.

A pole -vaulter first converts kinetic energy into?
Elastic Potential Energy
Which describes the relationship between potential and kinetic energy when a pole vaulter's pole has reached its maximum bend point?
When a pole vaulter's pole reaches its maximum bend point all the energy if the system is being stored as potential energy in the pole. Etotal = PE + KE. At this point KE is 0 so PE=Etotal. However, as the pole straightens out again, the stored PE is released as KE.
What kind of energy is plate balancing on pole?
when a plate is balancing on a pole it has gravitational energy because its being pulled down to earth but the pole is in the way so it balances on the pole
Where does thermal energy come from when a fire fighter slides down a pole?
When a firefighter slides down a pole the thermal energy comes from the friction between the two objects.
What will the speed of the upper end of a 3.25 m long pole be just before it hits the ground if the pole is balanced vertically on its tip if it starts to fall and its lower tip does not slip?
I believe the way you calculate this is to write up an equation for total energy when it is falling: on the one hand, there is the kinetic energy of the center of mass; on the other hand, the rotational energy (you need to know the moment of inertia of a pole for this). The total energy when it is falling must be a function of the speed (or rotational speed), and this total energy must be equal to the potential energy the pole had before it started to fall.

How long is a pole used in pole vaulting in feet?
I am a pole vaulter and i use a 12 foot pole but it can range from 9 to in the Olympic some times 18
Is there a pole rating available for a 200 pound vaulter?
There are many poles rated for a 200 lbs vaulter. First a vaulter of that size must work on their technique to ensure that he can use such a large pole. Then depending on the vaulters height and jump a vaulter can buy a 14' - 17' 7" that is rated for a 200 lbs vaulter. But a 14' 200 is not the same pole as a 16' 200. Please look up a pole size chart before picking the right size pole.
What are the basic rules of pole vault?
The vaulter may use a pole (under his/her wieght) to go over a cross bar. If the cross bar falls off before the vaulter is off the mat, it is counted as missed. A scratch is when a vaulter's pole hits the back of the box and the vaulter doesn't leave the ground. Besides that it's a unique event considering there are vaulter have many different techniques.
