Answer:
15.3 m/s
Step-by-step explanation:1) Find the gravitational potential energy using the equation :
[tex]PE_g=mgh[/tex]
[tex]PE_g=2.5(12)(9.8)\\PE_g=294[/tex]
2) Then use the equation for kinetic energy to solve for the velocity:
[tex]KE=\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}[/tex]
[tex]294=\frac{1}{2}(2.5)(v^2)\\235.2=v^2\\\sqrt{235.2} =v\\15.3 m/s=v[/tex]
