Hi there!

[tex]\large\boxed{\text{C. 17.7m/s}}[/tex]

Use the following kinematic equation to solve:

vf² = vi² + 2(ad)

Since the initial velocity is 0 m/s because it started at rest, we can eliminate this part of the equation:

vf² = 2ad

Plug in the given acceleration and distance:

vf² = 2(9.8)(16)

vf ≈ 17.7. The correct answer is C.
