Solution

To solve this problem, we can use the physics formula for the final velocity of an object in free fall, which is given by:

v = sqrt(2gh)

where:

  • v is the final velocity (which we're trying to find)
  • g is the acceleration due to gravity (given as 10 m/s²)
  • h is the height from which the object is dropped (given as 2 m)

Substituting the given values into the formula, we get:

v = sqrt(2 * 10 m/s² * 2 m) = sqrt(40 m²/s²) = 6.3 m/s

So, the speed of the stone when it hits the floor is 6.3 m/s. The correct answer is e. 6.3 m/s.
