A stunt performer falls off a wall that is 1.6 m high and then lands on a mat.
What is his impact velocity?
A. 5.6 m/s
B. 1.1 m/s
C. 4.7 m/s
o
D. 2.9 m/s

Option B: 5.6 m/s

According to law of conservation of energy,

= ½mv² = mgh

= mv² = 2mgh

= v² = 2mgh/m

= v = √2gh

So, now just put the values of g & h, abd you are done;

= v = √2×9.8×1.6

= v = √31.36

= v = 5.6 m/s
