6. A 70.0 kg pole- vaulter converts the kinetic energy, of running at ground level, into potential energy to clear the crossbar at a height of 4.0 m above the ground. What is the minimum velocity that he must have had at takeoff (while on the ground) to clear the bar (minimum would be when velocity at the top was zero – you could still be moving forward at the top, but this would require more velocity at the beginning)?
