The energy of the pole vaulter at a height of 4m above the ground will be in the form of potential energy. Using the formula for potential energy (PE = mgh), where m is the mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2), and h is the height, we can calculate the energy. The potential energy in this case would be 1960 J.
A pole vaulter has kinetic energy as they run with speed, potential energy as they use the pole to propel themselves upwards, and gravitational potential energy as they reach the peak of their jump.
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.
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.
Elastic Potential Energy
No, the weight on the ground will provide more resistance to wind because it increases the pole's stability by lowering its center of gravity. When suspended above the ground, the weight's influence would be less effective in countering the wind force on the pole.

Elastic Potential Energy
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.
In pole vaulting, the vaulter converts kinetic energy from their run into potential energy as they bend the pole and rise into the air. As the pole flexes, it stores elastic potential energy, which is then released to propel the vaulter upwards. At the peak of the vault, the potential energy is at its maximum before converting back into kinetic energy as the vaulter descends. Overall, the energy transformation is a dynamic interplay between kinetic, potential, and elastic energies throughout the vaulting process.
Potential you welcome bro troll
Pole vaulter
Steve Hooker, the Olympic pole vaulter, is 6'2" and is the third-highest pole vaulter in history.
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
