2 Carol, a circus performer, is on a swing. She jumps off the swing and lands in a safety net. When Carol leaves the swing, she has a speed of \(7 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) and she is at a height of 8 metres above the safety net.
Carol is to be modelled as a particle of mass 52 kg being acted upon only by gravity.
- Find the kinetic energy of Carol when she leaves the swing.
- Show that the kinetic energy of Carol when she hits the net is 5350 J , correct to three significant figures.
- Find the speed of Carol when she hits the net.
