    Answer:15.2m/s

    Explanation: Solution

    Initial velocity (u) = 6 meters per second

    Final velocity (v) = ?

    Gravitational force (g) = 9.8meter per second (square)

    Height=10meters

    Formula=

    V (square) = u (square) + 2*g (m/s (square) * height (m)

    Velocity = √6 (square) + √ 2*9.8*10

    Velocity = √6*6+√2*9.8*10

    Velocity = √36+√196

    Velocity=√232

    Velocity=15.2m/s.

    This means that the man will be running at 15.2meters per second at the time he hits the ground. His final speed was increased because of the impact of the force of gravity (g).
