Answer:
[tex]1 /2 mv^{2} =mgh[/tex]
Explanation:
The correct equation follows the law of conservation of energy where kinetic energy is all transformed to potential energy, since we know that kinetic energy is expressed as
[tex]1 /2 mv^{2}[/tex] while potential energy is mgh where m is the mass of the object, v is the velocity or speed of the object, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the vertical height. Therefore, relating the two equations we should have [tex]1 /2 mv^{2} =mgh[/tex]
