Calculation Formula

v² = 2gh

Where:
v = final velocity (m/s)
g = acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²)
h = height (meters)

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the height from which the object is dropped in meters in the "Height" field.
  2. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the final velocity.
  3. The final velocity will be displayed in the "Final Velocity" field.
  4. If you need to start over, click the "Reset" button to clear all input fields.

Working Principle

This calculator uses the principle of kinematics to determine the final velocity of an object dropped from a certain height. The formula used is:

v² = 2gh

where:

  • v is the final velocity in meters per second (m/s).
  • g is the acceleration due to gravity, approximately 9.81 m/s² on Earth.
  • h is the height from which the object is dropped in meters (m).

This formula assumes that there is no air resistance and that the object is dropped (not thrown), meaning the initial velocity is zero.
