Question 1072741: With what speed in miles per hour an object dropped from the top of a 10-story building hit the ground? Assume that each story of the building is 10 feet high.
v = .
g = 32 ft/s^2 is the free fall acceleration;
H is the height, in feet,
v is the speed under the question, in feet per second.
When you calculate "v" in feet per seconds, convert it to miles per hour.
