    What do you know:

    d=-8.0mm (starts higher and ends lower so it is negative)

    Vi=0m/s (because it was dropped, not thrown)

    A=-9.8m/s^2 (gravity)

    Vf=?

    Use the equation:

    Vf^2=Vi^2+2A (d)

    Vf^2=2 (-9.8) (-8.0)

    Vf^2 = 156.8 - - >find the square root of this

    Final answer: Vf = 12.5m/s
