Using standard formulae, derive an expression for the final speed of a falling object in terms of its change in height. Assume zero air resistance or other resistive forces.

E k = (1/2)mv 2 E p = mg(dh) Set these equal to each other, because of conservation of energy: (1/2)mv 2 = mg(dh) Cancel the mass: (1/2)v 2 = g(dh) v 2 = 2g(dh) v = (2g(dh)) 1/2
