The speed of the toy when it hits the ground is 2.97 m/s.

The given parameters;

  • mass of the toy, m = 0.1 kg
  • the maximum height reached by the, h = 0.45 m

The speed of the toy before it hits the ground will be maximum. Apply the principle of conservation of mechanical energy to determine the maximum speed of the toy.

P.E = K.E

[tex]mgh_{max} = \frac{1}{2} mv_{max}^2\\\\gh_{max} = \frac{1}{2} v_{max}^2\\\\v_{max}^2= 2gh_{max}\\\\v_{max} = \sqrt{2gh_{max}}[/tex]

Substitute the given values and solve the speed;

[tex]v_{max} = \sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 0.45} \\\\v_{max} = 2.97 \ m/s[/tex]

Thus, the speed of the toy when it hits the ground is 2.97 m/s.
