The change in the gravitational potential energy of the pole vaulter is 2,156 J.

Change in the gravitational potential energy

The change in the gravitational potential energy of the pole vaulter is calculated as follows;

ΔP.E = mg(Δh)

where;

  • m is mass
  • Δh is change in height

ΔP.E = (55)(9.8)(4)

ΔP.E = 2,156 J

Thus, the change in the gravitational potential energy of the pole vaulter is 2,156 J.
