An object is dropped from a height of 25 meters. At what velocity will it hit the ground?

OpenStudy (souvik):

use this equation...\[v ^{2}=u ^{2}+2g h\] h=25 m u=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats the g for?

OpenStudy (souvik):

g is gravitational acceleration... g=9.8 m/s^2

OpenStudy (souvik):

or you can use this.. mgh=1/2mv^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):
