A pile driver drops from a height of 35 meters before landing on a piling.
What is the speed of the driver when he hit the piling?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 


Use the formula  v  = sqrt%282gh%29,


where v is the speed at the end, h is the height and "g" is the gravity acceleration.


    v = sqrt%282%2A9.82%2A35%29 = 26.22 meters per second    ANSWER

Solved.
