: Koalas tend to fall out of trees. Their skulls have properties that tend to protect them from concussions and other damage, so we can be happy about that. A koala falls 2.6 m from a tree. Calculate its velocity just before hitting the ground (unharmed). Use the sign of the velocity to indicate direction (up or down)
