Height to Velocity Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Velocity (V) from Height (H) is:

\[ V = \sqrt{\frac{2H}{a}} \times a \]

Where:

\( V \) is the velocity (m/s).
\( H \) is the height (m).
\( a \) is the acceleration due to gravity (m/s²).

Example

Let's say the height (\( H \)) is 20 meters and the acceleration due to gravity (\( a \)) is 9.8 m/s². Using the formula:

\[ V = \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 20}{9.8}} \times 9.8 \approx 19.8 \text{ m/s} \]

So, the Velocity (\( V \)) is approximately 19.8 m/s.

What is Velocity?

Velocity is the speed of something in a given direction. In this context, it refers to the speed at which an object falls from a certain height under the influence of gravity.
