A penny is dropped from the observation deck of the Empire State building (307.0 m above ground). With what velocity would it strike the ground if air resistance were negligible? Assume the free-fall acceleration g = 9.80 m/s2. Ignore air resistance. If the velocity is downward, enter a negative value and if the velocity is upward, enter a positive value.
