The value of h is 1.83 meters.
When an object is dropped from a height, it accelerates due to gravity, increasing its velocity as it falls.
To find the height from which the object was dropped, we can use the equation v² = u² + 2as, where:
v is the final velocity (6 m/s)
u is the initial velocity (0 m/s, since the object is dropped from rest)
a is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²)
s is the height from which the object was dropped
Plugging in the given values, we get:
6² = 0² + 2(9.8)s
Simplifying the equation, we get:
36 = 19.6s
Dividing both sides by 19.6, we get:
s = 1.83 meters .
