<u>We are given:</u>
the initial height of the object (h) = 100 m
initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
we will let the value of g = 10 m/s/s
<u>Speed of the object just before hitting the ground:</u>
From the third equation of motion:
v² - u² = 2ah (where v is the final velocity)
replacing the variables, we get:
v² - (0)² = 2(10)(100)
v² = 2000
v = 10√20 = 44.7 m/s
Therefore, the speed of the object just before hitting the ground is 44.7 m/s
