In the sport of pole-vaulting, the height [b][i]h[/i][/b] (in feet) reached by a pole-vaulter is a function of [b][i]v[/i][/b], the velocity of the pole-vaulter, as shown in the model below. The constant [b][i]g[/i][/b] is approximately 32 feet per second per second.[br][br] Pole-valuter height model: [math]h=\frac{v^2}{2g}[/math]
