We set the potential energy formula, PE = mgh, equal to the kinetic energy formula, KE = 1/2mV^2
mgh = 1/2mV^2
cancel m algebraically
gh = 1/2V^2

(9.80 m/s^2)h = 1/2(20 m/s)^2
9.80h = 200
height = 20.4 meters
The speed of an object falling from a great height is measured in meters per second per second until it reaches terminal velocity (maximum downward speed).
If the initial velocity is 50 meters per second and the launch angle is 15 degrees what is the maximum height? Explain.
200 newton-meters per second = 200 watts.
1000000 m
There are 1000 meters/second in 1 kilo meters/second
the second tallest is mount god-win austen and its height is 28251 feet (8611 meters)
It is always -9.8 meters per second squared, regardless of height
The second-highest mountain in the world is K2 with a height of 8,611 meters.

Any object that free-falls for 900 meters under the influence of gravity alone reaches the bottom of the fall with a speed of 66.4 meters per second, or roughly 148.6 miles per hour. These numbers don't depend on the mass of the falling body.
Calculate gravitational P.E. as mgh, that is, mass x gravity x height. Use 9.82 (meters per second square) for gravity. Answer will be in Joules.Calculate gravitational P.E. as mgh, that is, mass x gravity x height. Use 9.82 (meters per second square) for gravity.
