Explanation:
[tex]pe = mgh \: \\ taking \: g \: as \: 10ms^{ - 2} \\ 100 = 8.0 \times 10 \times h \\ h = 1.25m \\ \\ using \: newtons \: third \: equation \\ v^{2} = u^{2} + 2gh \\ where \: v \: is \: final \: velocity \: and \: u \: is \: initial \: velocity \: = 0 \\ v^{2} = 0 + 2 \times 10 \times 1.25 \\ = 25 \\ v = 5.0ms^{2} [/tex]
