Pole vaulting is a track and field event in which a person uses a long, flexible pole (which today is usually made either of fiberglass or carbon fiber) as an aid to jump over a bar. Pole jumping competitions were known to the ancient Greeks, Cretans and Celts.It has been a full medal event at the Olympic Games since 1896 for men and 2000 for women. It is typically classified as one of the four major jumping events in athletics, alongside the high jump, long jump and triple jump.ole jumping competitions were known to the ancient Greeks, Cretans and Celts.

Energy in the form of motion is called kinetic energy. It can be transformed to other types of energy, such as heat energy or electric energy.
Unit 26 Types of Energy Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Energy changes from one kind to another. The total energy of an object never changes. Anything that has mass and movement has kinetic energy.The kinetic energy of an object in this case is given by the relation: KE = (1/2)mv2 m=mass of the object V=velocity of the object The greater the mass or velocity of a moving object, the more kinetic energy it has.ind power uses mechanical energy to help create electricity. Potential energy + Kinetic energy = Mechanical energy Mechanical Energy Summary Gravitational PE Elastic PE The energy of motion mgh Energy that is stretched or compressed.
