Answer:

v=68[m/s]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we have to use the law of energy conservation, which tells us that potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

[tex]E_{pot}=E_{kin}[/tex]

[tex]E_{pot}=m*g*h[/tex]

[tex]E_{kin}=0.5*m*v^{2}[/tex]

where:

m = mass [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

h = elevation = 236 [m]

v = velocity [m/s]

[tex]m*9.81*236=0.5*m*v^{2}\\2315.16 = 0.5*v^{2}\\v=\sqrt{4630.32} \\v=68[m/s][/tex]
