Question :-

How does height affect the speed of a falling object?

Answer :-

Equation:- v²-u² = 2aS

let the case of body be dropped

  1. u = zero ( initial velocity )
  2. a = g ( constant falling under gravity)
  3. S = initial height of the body from the ground
  4. v = final speed of the body

by further solving :-

v²-0 = 2aS

v² = 2aS

2a is constant

so :-

v is directly proportional to the √S

so we can say that speed of the falling body increase with increase in the square root of the height from which is dropped or falling
