Answer:velocity=93.12m/s

Explanation:

We shall use conservation of energy to solve this problem

we have

Potential energy of King Kong at top of building = His kinetic energy at the bottom

Potential energy of an object = m\times g\times h = 20000 kg

Where m is mass of an object(20000 kg)

g is accleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s^{2}

h is the height above the surface of earth = 1450 feet = 441.96 meters

Applying values we get

(P.E)_{TOP}=(20000\times 9.81\times 441.96) Joules\\\\(P.E)_{TOP}= 86712.552KiloJoules......................(i)

Now Kinetic energy is given by

(K.E)_{Bottom}=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}.......................(ii)

Equating i and ii we get

86712.552 =\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

v=\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m}}

Applying values we get

v=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 86712.552\times 10^{3}}{20\times 10^{3}}}\\\\v= 93.12m/s

Animal testing is unreliable because the results may not be precise to what it might do to humans because our bodies do not work the same.

it is cruel to the animals that are being forced to be test subject because they are forced to put their life in the line and they don’t have any say in it because they don’t speak English. (More than 100 million animals die a year while testing products)

This is affecting the earth because the animals are given severe abdominal pain, diarrhea, seizures, and many more awful side effects. The chemicals given to animals include pesticides, dyes, cosmetics and many other harmful things
