The equation is derived from the conservation of energy, specifically from potential energy stored at a given height in a gravitational field.

When potential energy is completely converted to kinetic energy you have:

(mv^2)/2=mgh  divide both sides by the mass m

v^2/2=gh  multiply both sides by 2

v^2=2gh take the square root of both sides

v=√(2gh)  and working with imperial units for acceleration due to gravity, g=-32ft/s^2

v=√(-64h)  but the change of h as it falls is negative h so

v=-√(64h) so if an object falls from a height of 88ft we have:

v=-√(64*84)

v=-√5376

v≈-73.32 ft/sec (to the nearest hundredth of a foot per second)

Note that this is the velocity, it is negative 73.32 ft/sec.

The question inadvertently asked for velocity and provided answers for SPEED.  Velocity is a vector and has both magnitude and direction, whereas speed just has magnitude.

So its final speed is 73.32 ft/sec

So if they actually wanted velocity none of their answers is correct :P

I NEED HELP. What is the answer?
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Here’s what B has:

Min: 24

Q1: 27

Median: 31

Q3: 33

Max: 34

Although Choice A and B were really close with their five number summaries, out of the two of them, only B had a maximum value of 34, like the one in the box plot shown above.

What’s the answer and how did you get it? i’m confused
Sidana [21]

Answer:

The answer is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because you should put the gh with gh, 2  is equivalent to 2 (so the 2 disappeared) and you only have 8-7=1 plus 2=3.
