An athlete with mass m running at speed v grabs a light rope that hangs from a ceiling of height h and swings to a maximum height of 1 h . in another room with a lower ceiling of height 2 h , a second athlete with mass 2m running at the same speed v grabs a light rope hanging from the ceiling and swings to a maximum height of 2 h . how does the maximum height reached by the two athletes compare, and why?

The image shows the original problem. Let me know if this is this is the answer to the problem that you wanted:

Remember that the mechanical energy  of the system, (where  are the kinetic energy and the potential energy respectively) must remain the same. In an initial situation, the athletes have purely kinetic energy. Then they hang on to the rope and reach a maximum height, at which point they have zero speed and thus zero kinetic energy. The athletes now have purely potential energy, remember again that the mechanical energy must be the same than it was initially, this implies that:

For the first athlete, and

for the second athlete.
We can see clearly that the second athlete rose higher than the first athlete.

Sorry can’t u just tryna get points
