A golf ball is dropped from the top of the bleachers 11 meters from the ground. Determine the final speed of the ball just before it hits the ground.

• 6 m/s

• 9 m/s

• 12 m/s

• 15 m/s

What is speed?

• how far you go
• how much distance is covered over a period of time
• how fast you accelerate
• the change in the location of a object
