Problem

A 0.5 kg0.5\,\text{kg} ball is at a height of 8 m8\,\text{m} above the ground and is moving at 4 m/s4\,\text{m/s}. Ignoring air resistance, find its speed when it reaches a height of 3 m3\,\text{m}. Take g=10 m/s2g = 10\,\text{m/s}^2. (a) 10 m/s10\,\text{m/s} (b) 11 m/s11\,\text{m/s} (c) 13.3 m/s13.3\,\text{m/s} (d) 12 m/s12\,\text{m/s}
