The height of the Empire State Building is 318.00 meters. If a stone is dropped from the top of the building, what is the stone's velocity just before it strikes the ground?

Answer: In order to find the stone’s velocity just before it strikes the ground we will use one of the free fall equations. V = √(2gh). We already have the values needed which are the gravity (9.8 m/s2) and our total height (318 meters). All you have to do is solve for V. You should get 78.95 m/s.
