Answer:

[tex]v_f=9.0774m/s[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume

initial velocity =vi

final velocity=vf

initial height =hi

final height =hf

acceleration due to gravity =g

we can use formula

[tex]\frac{1}{2}v_i^2+gh_i= \frac{1}{2}v_f^2+gh_f[/tex]

we are given

[tex]v_i=2m/s[/tex]

[tex]h_i=2\times 2=4[/tex]

[tex]h_f=0[/tex]

[tex]g=9.8m/s^2[/tex]

now, we can plug values

[tex]\frac{1}{2}(2)^2+(9.8)(4)= \frac{1}{2}v_f^2+(9.8)(0)[/tex]

now, we can solve for vf

[tex]\frac{1}{2}(2)^2+(9.8)(4)= \frac{1}{2}v_f^2[/tex]

we get

[tex]v_f=9.0774m/s[/tex]
