Jeff is part of a trekking team. As he climbs a hill, he drops his water bottle, which has a mass of 0.25 kilograms. The bottle
slides down the hill and is moving at a velocity of 14 meters/second the instant it hits the ground. The vertical height from where Jeff dropped the bottle is ___ meters. Ignore friction, and use K E = 1/2 MV², PE = m × g × h, and g = 9.8 m/s2.
