We have been given an assignment with the question:
"How does the height of a body falling through the air effect its velocity?"
It's clear that as the height the object is dropped from, the greater the velocity of the object will be. However, I was wondering if anybody could give me any help with some equations/maths that proves this. I realize this is simple stuff, however I can't quite get my head around the thought and think of the equation that would be used.
I would appreciate any equation based help to be of a relatively simple nature as my Physics is not very advanced.
Also, any help with how the below equation can help to prove that height will increase the velocity of a falling object would be appreciated to.
V2 = 2gh
V2 being V squared.
Thank you,
