Using the physics formula:

v2 = u2 + 2as

v - final velocity

u - initial velocity

a - acceleration

s - distance

When the object leaves the ground it is being slowed down by gravity until it stops so the acceleration equals -9.8m/s2 and as it will stop at 2.5 meters v = 0. U is the value we want to find out:

02 = u2 + (2 *-9.8*2.5)

49 = u2

So the object must leave the ground at 7m/s.

By the way this is ignoring air resistance.

Object leave ground with same velocity as when it hit ground?

If an object leaves the ground with the same velocity as when it hit the ground, then the vertical component of its velocity must have been reversed upon impact. This means that the object experienced an elastic collision with the ground, where kinetic energy was conserved but the direction of velocity was reversed.

Why does the world line of the material particle always remain inside the cone?

the world line of an object cannot leave its own forward light cone because to do so it would have to travel faster than light. once another object enters the forward light cone of an object, it cannot leave it either for the same reason. The backward light cone is a different matter, but it is in the past. Objects can easily leave the backward light cone and no longer be visible.

How lng does it take for food to travel through your small intestaines?

It depends, on a variety of factors. The most important is what type of food, and how much. A good average is about 3 hours to leave the stomach, 3 hours to leave the small intestine, and 40 hours to leave the large intestine.
