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

The some of two consecutive even integers is 170. find the two integers.
Tatiana [17]
2 consecutive even integers : x and x + 2

x + x + 2 = 170
2x + 2 = 170
2x = 170 - 2
2x = 168
x = 168/2
x = 84

x + 2 = 84 + 2 = 86

so ur 2 numbers are 84 and 86
