Applet Collection Description
Physics Mechanics This has a bunch of collections of applet simulators, but specifically one that deals with pole vault
Basic Angles This lets you explore what different types of angles look like which is important in pole vault
Pendulum These collections of applets let you play around with pendulums and the different speeds
More Mechanics in Physics This collection of physic based applets lets you chose what kind of physics you want to learn more about
Kinetic Energy This lets you get a deeper understanding of what kinetic energy is



Specific Applets Description
Pole Vault Simulator This simulation applet lets you see what happens when a pole vaulter falls to the ground including acceleration and velocity
Basic Angles This lets you explore what different types of angles look like which is important in pole vault
Pendulum This applet lets you play around with pendulums and the different speeds
Newton's Second Law This applet gives you some insight on what exactly Newton's Second Law is
Kinetic Energy This lets you get a deeper understanding of what kinetic energy is by using the skater applet


Resources Type Description
Allison Stokke Video This video gives a lil bit of insight into what it feels/looks like when you pole vault
Physics of Pole Vault Video A physics professor at LSU, which is where the current Pole Vault World Record holder attends, goes into depth about how he executes the vault
Equations Article This article goes more into detail about the equations used in the vault
Pole Vault Image This image I found on google shows you exactly what type of energy you are using and the steps to the vault
