Answer:
0.687 m/s
Explanation:
Initial energy = final energy
1/2 mu² = mgh + 1/2 mv²
1/2 u² = gh + 1/2 v²
Given u = 2.00 m/s, g = 9.8 m/s², and h = 0.180 m:
1/2 (2.00 m/s)² = (9.8 m/s²) (0.180 m) + 1/2 v²
v = 0.687 m/s

When you heat a certain substance with a difference of temperature

the heat (energy) you must give to it is

where

is the specific heat of that substance (given in J/(g*Celsius))
In this case

Observation: the specific heat of a substance is given in J/(g*Celsius) or J/(g*Kelvin) because on the temperature scale a
difference of 1 degree Celsius = 1 degree Kelvin
