A body fell freely for 6s. From what height did it start to fall and what was it's speed at the end of the fall?

Free fall / falling speed equations

1. The force of gravity, g = 9.8 m/s2 Gravity accelerates you at 9.8 meters per second per second. ...

2. Time to splat: sqrt ( 2 * height / 9.8 ) ...

3. Velocity at splat time: sqrt( 2 * g * height ) ...

4. Energy at splat time: 1/2 * mass * velocity2 = mass * g * height.

Explanation:

Iread this book last year so take this with a grain of salt.gene jumps from the tree to compete with finny due to the fact that gene is always trying to do better than finny. he is put under the grasp of peer pressure due to finny almost forcing him to do this. ever since he first jumped finny kept pressuring him to jump since he thought gene enjoyed jumping.rather than uses this answer you should probably just reread chapters 3-4
